Spatial Practice - Visual Feedback: Troubleshooting

Had success with projecting the laptop screen onto the same surface that I was tracking touch movements. I was ready to move on to calibrating the surface when I encountered issues with providing enough backlight from the lamps to create the necessary solid shadows on the surface while keeping it dark enough to see the projected image. see below.










After scouring online for many hours I was unable to find a solution, so I mailed the creator of this particular design in the hope of discovering a solution to the issue.


Hey Seth,

I'm getting into MT surfaces and discovering your site has been invaluable, many thanks!

I'm building the MT Biggie and have had success so far in using CCV, tracking blobs and sending them via Osculator to ableton live. However the lighting required to achieve good results has made the projection surface far too illuminated to actually see the projection! I'm stuck as to how to achieve a balance of both solid backlighting and a dark enough projection surface to effectively throw onto.

I'm currently waiting for my registration on the forums to be approved so I thought I'd shoot you a quick message here if you're able to offer any ideas? 

Thanks again!
Jay
