A little while ago I made this blog - here
And I can confirm that I have managed to make it! - demonstrated below, I had to have the lights off as it works by finding fingers locations based on light and the way it shows when touching the glass. The video is low quality as it was filmed on my normal camera (Kodak V1003) because my camcorder was in the box being used for the whole thingymabob.

Good work. I’m glad you liked the video.
To get past the problem of only using 1/4 of the screen. When you start configapp, hit enter and go through the calibration process. The default is currently set for a different resolution than you camera, therefore that ‘bug’ arises.
A future version will be released that hopefully takes care of the ‘bug’. But as I said above, it is fixable by going through the calibration process. =)
BTW, the framerate is dependent on the quality of the camera.
Keep up the good work and check back for more updates. =)
