not to be the butthead here, but this guy has successfully invented a mouse, not a touchscreen. and the $2 claim is laughable when the guy doesn't include the cost of the camera or the glass table he used.

a) stop being a butthead
b) he didn't say he made a touchscreen, he made a multi-touch interface. If you watch the entire video (particularly the map zooming part) you can see where it registers two touches at a time.


edit: fuckin' smilies

I misspoke saying it was a touchscreen. Also, the costs are probably things he had to buy to get this to work. Most people I know have some sort of webcam and a glass table somewhere in their house.
