Microsoft Multi-Touch Touchless Demo Available for Download

Straight from Microsoft labs: Touchless SDK enables touch without touching by using a webcam to track color based markers. Touchless includes two parts:

• Touchless Demo is an open source application that anyone with a webcam can use to experience multi-touch, no geekiness required. There are 4 fun demos: Snake – where you control a snake with a marker, Defender – up to 4 player version of a pong-like game, Map – where you can rotate, zoom, and move a map using 2 markers, and Draw – the marker is used to guess what….  draw!
• Touchless SDK is an open source SDK that enables developers to create multi-touch based applications using a webcam for input, geekiness recommended.

This project is an Office Labs community project, which means a Microsoft employee worked on this in their spare time. It is also an open source project, which means that anyone can view, use, and contribute to the code.
