Reality Touchscreen at the University of Groningen is a DIY project made using 6 cameras and 1000 infra red LEDs. It can detect over 100 simultaneous touches.
“The cameras, illuminators and projectors are all placed behind the screen. Due to the diffuse layer on the front side of the screen, the cameras cannot see clearly through the screen, however whenever someone touches the screen, enough of the infrared light is reflected back to see the tip of the finger. The difference is very small (on a scale of 0-255 the difference is only 2 or 3), but still big enough to be seen by the computers that analyse the images from the cameras.”

Continuing their multi-touch research, IDEO have been working on turning an off-the-shelf rear projection TV into a multi-touch display. This screen has the best width-to-depth ratio of any multitouch system (67″ diagonal viewing area and only 16″ deep).
It’s the first example of hacking a multi-touch system into an off-the-shelf television and the system they settled on uses very few additional components so could potentially be applied to any rear-projection set.
