It’s an exciting time in the Multi-touch market, and we have positioned ourselves well to be on the cutting edge of that technology. Our clients are being provided advanced designs and solutions along with superior service for all their multi-touch market projects. DornerWorks leverage in developing Multi-touch solutions using embedded electronics and an optical camera solution enables DornerWorks to be well equipped to work towards a Multi-touch implementation that meets and exceeds in the industry’s needs and expectations.
DornerWorks is targeting the production quality software. The focus is on providing reliable, adaptable, customizable, low cost fingertip and object recognition multi-touch software and hardware. Our latest project is highlighted below:
Multi-Touch
DornerWorks partnered with Texas Instruments to bring true Multi-touch to an embedded platform. Designed with TI’s new TMS320DM365 digital media system-on-chip, this system utilized TI’s LED-DLP projector technology for bright, clear images in a compact size.
DornerWorks created two applications to run the Multi-touch System. The hardware driver application was written in C/C++ for the DM365 processor running a Linux environment, while the demonstration application was written with Adobe Flash. The outcome was a responsive and adaptable embedded Multi-touch system which:
- Identifies and tracks finger touches
- Maximizes performance with the DM365’s built-in video processing capabilities
- Communicates touch information to an external user application device using a standard protocol, TUIO
Product Upgrades – Since the product was released, DornerWorks has continued investigating ways to improve the project in several ways while expanding our expertise in the Multi-touch technology arena. Our engineers were able to develop a PC side utility application to aid in debugging and touch/screen calibration. Our biggest improvement has been to incorporate control of multiple illumination sources to counteract reflections and backscatter from the illumination sources and additional techniques to minimize ambient light interference.
