Welcome abord

This is about the dev part (let's hope it'll be short ;-) ) of Otira, an other multitouch software/interface. The purpose is to create a program able to take care of everything (webcam management, computing, rendering...) and make it work on an interface.

The interface would be like the Lucidtouch developped by Microsoft (see here).

Otira is based on opencv and developped in C++ under Windows with CodeBlocks, but i'm sure it runs everywhere.

So far version 1 is available (see download section - for info the .exe is in the bin/debug directory - you must have opencv installed on your computer, there is a link on the right side) and is able to track blobs. However it's not really usable since it has never been run on more than one setup.

A wiki will come soon in order to make things clear to my and people who would like to give Otira a try.
