CCV vs ReacTIVision

Two of the most popular pieces of software for processing input from a multi-touch setup are Community Core Vision (CCV), and ReacTIVision. I’ve been weighing the pros and cons of each to decide on which i’ll use for my table, here’s what i’ve come up with.

CCV

• Easy to use adjustments for camera ( exposure, blurring, amplification )
• Setting to detect dark blobs ( useful for rapid prototyping )
• Can’t detect fiducials ( yet )

reacTIVision

• Can detect fiducials
• Seems to better handle blob tracking in general
• A keyboard-shorcut only interface

I’d say if you don’t care about fiducial tracking, then i’d choose CCV. For my table I’m somewhat set on being able to track fiducials, so unless I can find a CCV solution for it, i’m going with reacTIVision.
