Project Sistine adds touchscreen to MacBook for $1

This project is a masterclass in using software to overcome hardware constraints through "optical hacking" and basic physics.

• –Relies on the "ShinyTouch" principle, identifying contact by detecting the intersection of a finger with its own reflection on the glossy screen.
• –Utilizes a robust computer vision pipeline including skin detection, contour analysis, and RANSAC for precise coordinate mapping.
• –Proves that high-level algorithmic compensation can turn low-fidelity sensors, like a 480p webcam, into functional input devices.
• –Highlights the intersection of simple DIY hardware and sophisticated mathematical transformations like homography matrices.
