New deadline? Hmm, I may be able to get my submission (Webcam Signature) to track hands/fingers by the new deadline. I'll see if it works out or not. BTW, the source code for Webcam Signature 1.3 is up on my website: http://webcamsignature.wikidot.com/webcam-signature-source-code. I'll probably submit the new version that I'm working on before the new deadline.

lol, no, I got the program working perfectly, I couldn't get it to track a pen though, but I could get it to track the usb to ps/2 converter perfectly

I'm working on a new version of Webcam Signature that uses a notably different algorithm for tracking. From my testing so far, it is able to track a color object significantly better than version 1.3 especially when the lighting changes or there is glare off the object. Right now in version 1.3, you may have to recalibrate the tracking color if you turn the light on in a dark room or the sun shines through the window and onto your pen, but that does not appear to be as frequently necessary with the new version.

However, one issue remains to be solved. I have to speed the algorithm up. One of the primary issues is that accessing bitmap pixels is a slow process even with using Unsafe bitmaps in C#. However, I may have some code that can solve this issue.
