Laptops + Pico projectors = Bonfire

Some colleagues of mine at Intel Research/University of Washington recently got permission to post a video of thier research project from UIST 2009. It's a really nice idea that I wish I had done myself and, in my opinon, is one of the better applications of cheap pico projectors that I've seen.

Using pico-projectors and cameras mounted on a laptop, you can take advantage of nearby table space around the laptop to effectively expand your workspace at will. The video is a little stiff but, like many good ideas, you get the jist of it pretty quick.

Mr Johnny Lee,1 week ago, I watch your presentation(I'm poor in english, and I don't know is this word suitable in this case) of wiimote project in youtube(I was watching which with chinese subtitles). I am glad that you said " something that motivates me, and what gets me really excited about my research is when I see simple opportunities to drastically change that distribution, and make the technology accessible to a much wider percentage of the population.". Since that you have focus on person who is no too much money. you are excellent kindliness people in nowadays. Lots of people, when they have some good idea, they just only want to sell it in a good price. I like your idea and your kind. Sorry for bore you, I only want to express my thank you.

That has to be one of the best augmented interfaces I've seen in a very long time! As an IT professional and unapologetic information junkie, I have at least two notebooks with multiple monitors connected to each both in the office and at home. Working with either my Dell or MacBook off site often becomes a frustrating experience as I am limited to one active screen. This solution would be a welcome addition to my next portable device!

This is a really cool idea - I think the fidelity of gesture input could be radically increased by coupling it with Chris Harrison's "Scratch Input" system:

I'm still not sold on the applications, yet, though.

A little off topic but, could you tell me what the license for the wiiwhiteboard v0.3 is? I'd like to maintain and add features to it but I need to know the license you intend to release it in.

Thanks

The new timepiece, featuring attractive black Bentley GT is crafted from stainless steel with a diameter of 43.5mm. The sapphire crystal face receives double anti-reflective coating. The Bentley Motors T back has special spiral-design to make Navitimer World and other audible indications clearly heard. The rubber strap boasts nice sporty look with iconic portholes. Of course, Chrono Superocean will be more strap options such as metal bracelet and leather or crocodile strap to meet different demands.


The first thing which you think of when you go ahead to think of Christian Louboutin Sale will be the superb brand name of Christian Louboutin Pumps . These are the styles of Christian Louboutin Boots that are the best amongst all the other brands. The type of footwear that you will name as the very best of the class! When you reflect on shoes, the very first thing that comes to your thoughts is that this really is Christian Louboutin Sandals which will never ever disappoint you.


Coach Wallets also has an embossed berry leather hang tag. The pleat in the front is adorned with two silver Coach Ergo embossed rings connected with a white accent scarf. Coach Poppy is lined with satin fabric, has two interior pockets and one interior zip pocket. The Kyra berry hobo is zip-closed and measures 13 x 11 x 3 inches. Last but certainly not the least is the Coach Luggage Purse. It is also made from genuine leather, this time in metallic bronze tint.
