Isosceles right triangle ABCABC encloses a semicircle of area 2π2\pi. The circle has its center OO on hypotenuse AB¯\overline{AB} and is tangent to sides AC¯\overline{AC} and BC¯\overline{BC}. What is the area of triangle ABCABC? [asy] pair a=(4,4), b=(0,0), c=(0,4), d=(4,0), o=(2,2); draw(circle(o, 2)); clip(a--b--c--cycle); draw(a--b--c--cycle); dot(o); label("CC", c, NW); label("AA", a, NE); label("BB", b, SW); [/asy]

Original LaTeX notation
Isosceles right triangle $ABC$ encloses a semicircle of area $2\pi$. The circle has its center $O$ on hypotenuse $\overline{AB}$ and is tangent to sides $\overline{AC}$ and $\overline{BC}$. What is the area of triangle $ABC$? [asy]
pair a=(4,4), b=(0,0), c=(0,4), d=(4,0), o=(2,2);
draw(circle(o, 2));
clip(a--b--c--cycle);
draw(a--b--c--cycle);
dot(o);
label("$C$", c, NW);
label("$A$", a, NE);
label("$B$", b, SW);
