For information on building a full multitouch table see: http://www.NUIGroup.com
What's a MTmini? ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------- Don't have a Multitouch Table yet? Have one, but need something smaller for testing? Building a small portable multitouch pad will allow you to test software and experiment on a smaller scale while building your full table or when away from your multitouch screen. Have fun and make a MTmini! This uses Front Diffused Illumination, with normal ambient light (infrared not required or needed) and a normal off-the-shelf webcam (IR filter can still be in place).
-Materials- ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------- -Cardboard Box -Piece of Clear Flat Sturdy Material (ie. Glass, acrylic, plexiglas) -Paper (ie. printer paper, tracing paper, almost any paper) -Webcam or Video Camera (Any webcam should work) -Computer (dual core recommended, but not needed) -Optional Picture Frame
Total Cost: $5 - $50
-Software and Demos- ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------- MTmini Package v1 - http://nuispace.com/ss/MTmini%20package%20v1.zip - Includes Touchlib rev (393) Writen by , Demos and Getting Started Instruction Guide.
-How's it Work and What Conditions are Necessary?- ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------- For this to work, all you need is a room with (at least) some light. The results will be best when the room lighting is even (no bright lights shinning from one direction onto the multitouch pad).
When you place you fingers on the surface, shadows are created where your fingers are. The webcam sees these shadows and sends the image to the tracking software which tracks the shadows as they

From the very fisrt mom
This is a song I wrote and performed for my Mom!
The Lyrics:
From the very fisrt moment I saw you/ the minute I was born/ I put my hand on my heart and I swore to you/ I'd always love you and more/ Because you gave me love and so much more!
Momma! (Your my only mom) I'm a grown man now (You are my favorite mom) Momma! (Such a good mom) I'll always be around! (I like you more than Dad)
Yeeeeaaaaaooooooowwwwwww!
You used to wear nice clothes and fancy dresses/ and necklaces and care about things like fashion/ But then I came along and you gave all of that up/ When you could have been out dancing!
Momma! (I gave you stretch marks) I'm a grown man now (now you wear sweat pants) Momma! (I gave you nursing rash) I'll always be around
Solo!
(solo)
Mom I gotta tell you that I owe you for all that you've done for me, because you've truly done so much for me in my life, like giving birth to me for one thing and after all of that trouble of bringing me into this world you've gone and given up so much to make me happy and to raise me right. Momma you're my favorite mom your americas favorite mom and I want to show America how much I lvoe you and how much respect and appreciation I have have for you! GOD BLESS YOU MOM GOD BLESS AMERICA AMEN!
(I stopped your social life) (Got in the way of your career) (I gave you love handles) (You don't fit your old dresses)(more)(less)

++ Discussion on PangeaDay.org ++ Directed by Zach Niles and Banker White (USA) The remarkable story of a group of six Sierra Leonean musicians who come together to form a band while living in a West African refugee camp.
First-time filmmakers Zach Niles and Banker White started SodaSoap Productions in 2002 in support of their the documentary film 'Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars' (2006). "SodaSoap" comes from the title of an All Stars song that encourages people to take pride in what they can produce on their own. It has become a guiding artistic theme for the duo, who are recipients of a 2008 Creative Capital Foundation Grant for "We Own TV," a collaborative media project that promotes self-expression through visual media by bringing filmmaking education and equipment to Sierra Leonean youth. Project participants will collaboratively create and produce their own independent media which will be distributed via "We Own TV's" broadcast and online partners. Zach and Banker also continue to work closely with their friends "Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars" who, since the release of the film have become international stars and strident advocates for refugee rights. The SodaSoap Productions schedule is full as planning is under way to record a new album with the band later this year and documentary projects in Haiti and Cuba are currently in production.

Directed by: Ronit Avni and Julia Bacha (Brazil / Canada / Israel / occupied Palestinian territories)
The most important story in the Middle East is not being told on the nightly news. The true heroes of this conflict use something more powerful than bullets and bombs. This is the story of people who lost everything except the courage to face their enemies.
Ronit Avni is the Founder and Executive Director of Just Vision, a nonprofit that widens the influence of Palestinian and Israeli grassroots peace builders. She has co-produced short videos and online video advocacy features in collaboration with filmmakers in Senegal, Burkina Faso, the United States and Brazil while working for Peter Gabriel's human rights organization, WITNESS. She wrote and produced a short documentary film, Rise, with the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan.
Originally from Brazil, Julia Bacha came to New York in 1998 to study Middle Eastern history and politics at Columbia University. Alongside her academic studies, she pursued her interest in documentary photography by portraying life in Cuba, Kashmir, the Brazilian Amazon and the Blue Mountains in Jamaica. Julia Bacha recently co-wrote and edited the critically acclaimed documentary Control Room, about Al Jazeera's coverage of the latest war in Iraq, for which she was nominated for the 2005 Writer's Guild of America Award.

This short documentary offers a unique and intimate perspective into the thoughts of a Moroccan imam and his wife as they discuss their romance. They describe their thoughts about how to build a deep, trusting, and enduring relationship in this film that shows the specific ways the Islamic faith relates to the universal concepts of love and respect.
