We present a homemade multitouch table whose operating principles are similar to the Microsoft Surface and the device Jeff Han showed at TED 2006. In this talk, we describe the Python-based software we've developed to turn a simple infrared camera into a multi-pointer input device. We will also demonstrate some of our sample applications, from games and amusements to more "serious" applications of the multi-pointer user interface paradigm.
