Touchless SDK

The Touchless SDK (Software Development Kit) is a specialized third-party software solution that was designed to enable developers to create multi-touch based applications using a webcam for input. Basically, the principle behind this project is enable users to touch virtual objects without actually touching them.

This SDK aimed to offer users a way of experiencing multi-touch capabilities, without requiring expensive hardware or software components. All the end-user needs is a web cam connected to the target computer which will be used to track various colored markers that are defined by the user beforehand.

The initial project included an extensible demo application that was meant to showcase a bunch of multi-touch capabilities, but the purpose was to create an SDK that allows users to craft their own multi-touch applications.

Touchless SDK comes bundled in an archive that can be easily maneuvered, since it's not grand in size, so you can carry it around without too much effort. It's highly encouraged that you toy around with it, especially since it's been released as open source, thus making the community contribution to this project a very important part in its development process.
