The live messenger button on top will also fall off once you remove it. It's stuck on using a small amount of adhesive so you just kind of have to pry it off. Sadly, I neglected to take pictures during the process, so you'll have to rely on my vivid descriptions :-P Since I couldn't really find anything online about modifying this model, I decided to post the steps in case it helps anyone else. Very ingenious to simply invert the webcam image so it looks like it's just IR light. The first thing I did to test was put together the simple test rig described here ( MT Mini). The guys over at NUI Group have a great writeup and list of webcams that are easily modifiable for this purpose: ĭespite that list, I ended up getting a Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000.
All of the techniques for building them involve having a webcam that can see infrared, so I figured that was a first step. So I've recently become interested in building a multitouch table such as the one seen here.
