For Hokuyo UST / URG laser rangefinders

Turn any laser scanner into multi-touch on Windows.

Laser's Track fuses one or many Hokuyo lasers into a single, stable tracking surface — then streams it as native Windows Touch, TUIO 1.1 and OSC. Modern, resilient and built for permanent installations.

Everything you need to ship a laser-touch wall.

One engine that detects, fuses, tracks and outputs — designed to run unattended for months.

Multi-sensor fusion

Place several lasers around a surface. A finger seen by two sensors becomes a single contact in world space — no doubles, no seams.

Native Windows Touch

Each contact is injected onto the pixels of its screen. Multi-screen, transparent to any app, fully DPI-aware (PerMonitorV2).

TUIO 1.1 & raw OSC

/tuio/2Dcur over UDP for your creative tools, plus configurable raw OSC carrying screen index, position, velocity and width.

Stable ID tracking

Contacts keep a consistent ID frame to frame for smooth drags and gestures, tracked in real-world millimetres.

Zones & range filtering

Inclusion / exclusion rectangles plus range min/max per sensor — kill reflections from walls, floors and fixed objects.

Screens & mapping

Define screens in millimetres with a pixel target and rotation. The engine maps each contact onto the screen that contains it.

Resilience & watchdog

Auto-reconnect with back-off, a frozen-sensor watchdog and clear per-sensor status. Unplug a laser — it comes back on its own.

Kiosk & auto-start

Runs on background threads, minimizes to the tray, starts minimized and auto-connects. Boot the PC and it streams unattended.

Licensed, then offline

Activate once online and Laser's Track works offline forever on that machine. One license = one PC.

The pipeline

From raw laser returns to clean touch — in one pass.

Every sensor detects in its own frame; the engine fuses them in a shared world, tracks the result and maps it to your screens.

1

Add a screen

Enter the resolution (px), the physical size (mm) and rotation, then assign the sensors that feed it. Use a detected monitor to fill it in automatically.

2

Add & place sensors

Pick a source — Simulator, UST Ethernet or URG Serial — set the pose, connect, then drag the 📡 in the World view to position it.

3

Draw zones

Inclusion or exclusion rectangles per sensor to keep only the useful area. Everything is saved automatically to a config profile.

4

Enable outputs

Switch on Windows Touch, TUIO (host / port / source) and/or raw OSC. Turn on auto-start for a turnkey, unattended kiosk.

Compatibility

Works with the Hokuyo lasers you already own.

Native SCIP 2.0 over Ethernet or USB. Old URG units over RS-232 are supported too.

No hardware yet? The built-in Simulator source lets you build and test a full setup before a single laser is plugged in.
