Low-Cost Multi-point Interactive Whiteboards Using the Wiimote

Posted in Cyberpunk, Tech, Software, User Interface on December 12th, 2007

This is cool.

Previously, we’ve seen some Cool Multitouch screen technology from Jeff Han:

But now, Johnny Lee has juryrigged a Wii remote and a projector to provide a low cost (or at least lower ) alternative.

Johnny Lee has several Wii projects including this multitouch one.

So it’s not quite “Minority Report”, but the interface is getting a whole lot closer to being touchable like it’s an actual desktop.

Max Headroom is back (Kinda), but selling HDTV?

Posted in Cyberpunk, Artificial Intelligence on December 9th, 2007

I have a soft spot for Max Headroom. It was pretty cool in the 80s. One of the “dated” looks in Max Headroom (and other sci-fi) is no one expected TVs to be flat or small (not to mention the recording gear, which was just 80s video cameras).

But .. he’s back touting the joys of HDTV

Amusing.
