FlyEye

Flyeye is a novel concept for prototyping touch-sensitive non-planar surfaces. The ends of individual optical fibers are embedded into the sensing surface and bundled together at the other end. By analyzing the light patterns on the bundled end the system recognizes proximity and location of touch. A fast yet powerful relative calibration technique 'untangles' the fiber bundle. FlyEye has been presented at TEI 2010. Source code for original paper submission: flyeye_orig.py Source code for demo at TEI 2010 (some small improvements): flyeye_demo.py
