Very impressive. It would be helpful if you could disable the 3D tilting board on the screen, as it's confusing when you tilt the entire tablet, you then have the image within the tablet tilt too...

PS - Video length is inaccurate.

I must admit? It's pretty clever? The way he used, an Intel computer vision library?

Manip, its configurable so you can turn the game board tilt off. there is a checkbox on the options dialog (currently checked) that says something like 'tilt board' ... just uncheck that.

the article and source code is at

on a desktop pc you can control it with your mouse or use a tethered web cam. for a web cam, you probably want to invert the cam controls ... and the option dialog has a setting for that, because thats how i tested it during development
