Update and pictures!

Today we got 20 new IR LEDs courtesy of Julian's ordering on the Online EEE store. Soldered 4 with a 220 Ohm resistor together and mounted them on a piece of aluminum and scotched taped that to the 2 acrylic boards taped together. The result was that the Infra Red light is actually able to cross the entire width of the board and still is relatively strong. However, it is still unclear whether the light is being refracted when we touch the screen, or if it is so weak that it seems like noise.

Here are two videos of previous successful attempts to refract the IR light.
