description: "For your surface-scanning needs"

Dear scanners of surfaces,

we're happy to announce that we now have stable support for ZED stereo cameras by [Slamtec](https://www.slamtec.com/).

*"SLAMTEC's core R&D team is experienced in the development and application of robot autonomous localization and navigation solution as well as related core sensors."*

...and while you might not build robots, those sensors can help you turn any flat surface into a multitouch canvas with just a few clicks!

Based on a [third-party C# implementation](https://www.nuget.org/packages/RPLidar4Net.IO) of their [RPLidar SDK](https://github.com/slamtec/rplidar_sdk) we've created the [VL.Devices.RPLidar](https://www.nuget.org/packages/VL.Devices.RPLidar) package, implementing a node-set for you to quickly access the data of one or multiple [supported models](https://github.com/slamtec/rplidar_sdk?tab=readme-ov-file#supported-platforms).

As you can see in the help patch above there is really not much to it: You simply get a spread of measured points out of the device. Combine those with NuGets [VL.DBSCAN](https://www.nuget.org/packages/VL.DBSCAN) and [VL.TrackObjects](https://www.nuget.org/packages/VL.TrackObjects) and you have all the tools to fine tweak your multitouch surface...

## Credits

Development of this library was kicked off through a priority support inquiry by Emanuele Foti.

If you have a request for custom development, don't hesitate to [get in touch](mailto:devvvvs@vvvv.org)!
