-What’s a MTmini?-
————————————-
Don’t have a Multitouch Table yet? Have one, but need something smaller for testing? Building a small portable multitouch pad will allow you to test software and experiment on a smaller scale while building your full table or when away from your multitouch screen. Have fun and make a MTmini! This uses Front Diffused Illumination, with normal ambient light (infrared not required or needed) and a normal off-the-shelf webcam (IR filter can still be in place).

-How’s it Work?-
————————————-
For this to work, all you need is a room with (at least) some light. The results will be best when the room lighting is even (no bright lights shinning from one direction onto the multitouch pad).

When you place you fingers on the surface, shadows are created where your fingers are. The webcam sees these shadows and sends the image to the tracking software which tracks the shadows as they move on the surface.

It’s important to try different lighting setups and to configure the software in order to get the best results.

(Bucaneer was actually made with TGEA not Torque 3D)

Torque 3D is a professional SDK used to create games. In simpler terms, Torque 3D is a game engine developed by GarageGames. Game development is one of the most difficult, yet fun and rewarding, professions in the world.

Using a game engine is not just a shortcut to finishing a game. Using Torque 3D will save you the time and effort required to create a complex rendering system, high speed networking, real time editors, a scripting system, and so on. However, you must also realize that there is a lot of power “under the hood” that should be harnessed.

More than just a powerful, C++ driven game engine, Torque 3D is also a collection of tools that will aid you in making your games. The engine, also referred to as the source code, was developed entirely in C++. The most important thing to realize about Torque 3D is that it is a large, complex system. It is possible to complete a game without ever touching the source code. However, having source code access allows you to extend the engine to be whatever you want.

This one is priced (the moment i write) 1000 us dollars.
There is also TGEA which is 295 us dollars for indie.
Or torque 2d which is 100-250 us dollars.
