He is using Microsoft Visual Studio C# edition which has been updated
a few times, and he is also using Direct X program to make sixth sense
program function. To answer your question how he did it before 2009,
my assessment is that he was running on an older version of Visual
Studio. I'm using 2010 edition (VS C#) which is offered by Microsoft
online for free for a trial version. For those interested in the
TouchlessLib mentioned above, I found this (because I was curious
too):

The Direct X seems to be a bug fix for the weather section of the
coding. If intuition serves correctly then this part of the script is
used for displaying live weather data when the camera sees the weather
section of a newspaper. All I know is that the program would not work
until Direct X was installed because of an error with the weather
coding. If you are experiencing this issue, make sure Direct X is
installed correctly. If you are having the issue where VS C# is not
accessing the WUW_01 file, you need to extract the files you
downloaded. If you have them on your desktop in a single folder, the
folder should not have a zipper on it. Thanks for the tip on the
TouchlessLib! I want to try it now.
