Step 3Build a computer
iImage Information

You do not need to build a computer specifically for this project. In fact, any recent computer with a decent processor and graphics card should work well. However, if you plan on putting the surface in an enclosure when you are done, then ensure the computer has adequate cooling and minimal thermal dissipation. Another important factor is the size of the computer, since you want to make sure the computer does not interfere with the camera or projection systems.
