Re: Audio D-Touch...

You can make your own control surface using reacTIVision software for the price of the materials, which is essentially the same price as the d-touch projects. I've got one sitting in my studio that i made mostly from cheap craft store materials and slightly higher quality webcam. It may not have the fancy visual feedback or the proximity sensing of the reactable, but its still a great control surface.

reacTIVision

The live video stream received from a digital video camera is processed by the open-source computer vision software called reacTIVision, originally developed by Martin Kaltenbrunner and Ross Bencina for the Reactable project. reacTIVision detects cartesian and rotational placement of fiducials on the table surface, then emits the specially designed Open Sound Control based network protocol called TUIO, which communicates to the actual synthesizer and visualization software that outputs to the video projector. reacTIVision is also capable of multi-touch fingertip tracking.
