So, after revisiting the website, I found the diagram and things make more sense. However, I am confused as to how you get the touch screen to work? The only way that I know of to make a Multitouch surface is FTIR type, with a camera underneath, but wouldn't the lcd block the way between the acrylic and the camera? How does the actual Multitouch aspect of the table work?

Ok, so I'm using the DSI method for the touch surface. It is the same essentially as FTIR however, with DSI and the special acrylic used, there is no need for a compliant surface. See this website for more information on the differences between multitouch techniques.

Congratulations upon being the first to top 1000 points! : )

On a more relevant note, was the LCD in your Multitouch table just the projection surface that you used? I've read through the site some but I'm still confused as to the purpose of the LCD.

Thanks! No, the LCD is an actual LCD display. There is no projector in my setup.
So I dismantled an LCD and used the monitor as a display. See my blog for more info.

Cheers!
