One can write the most beautiful code, performing cleaver calculations – but unless there’s more on the screen than a set of numbers, it will [...]

Programming an interactive multitouch ibar with vvvv

There is a nifty design idea for a visual, interactive bar counter surface. iBar – an “intelligent” surface system lights up and connects objects together in a pretty cool visual effect.

“The intelligent tracking system of iBar detects all objects touching the surface. This input is used to let the projected content interact dynamically with the [...]
