Yeah, It’s Pretty Cool  Cool Customization - Cool Photos - Cool Videos - Submit Something Cool

Seth Sandler has created something pretty cool. With all the hype about touch computing, especially Multi-Touch due to iPhone and iTouch, here is a pretty cool low budget way to take a normal laptop, a webcam, and turn it into a custom laptop with touch software.

Seth really gives you a true step-by-guide with is pretty cool, as not too many guys out there would do the same. All the cool software he uses is open-source (read: it can be used for free) so as long as you have a spare webcam lying around, you can achieve the same pretty cool effect.

I think its great that everyone is customising laptops and customising software to further push forward touch technology. Sure its mainly the computer geniuses that have the time and the ability to do the pretty cool hacks, but all that means is that it makes it easy for the rest of us to do the same.

So sit back and watch this pretty cool video, and if you try it out, leave a comment and let us know how you go!

What’s the coolest laptop you have ever seen? MacBook Air? Asus EEE PC? How about one made from a book. Thats right, a real-life, made from paper and printed with ink book. We this UK design student, Kyle Bean has made a pretty cool custom laptop. Whether it is functional or not, we are too sure at Yeah its Pretty Cool. His official site does not have much information about it, but we will definitely try to contact him.

How cool would it be to have a custom laptop that can be used instead of a book. That might even make books cool again! I think the point is that this is a pretty cool design, by a pretty cool designer. And mixing the old with the new is always the best way to go. Pretty Cool stuff Kyle!
