May 30, 2010 - do a tutorial on how you did this please and provide software? i like the private

You NEED a projector to supply the images, whether its in front of you, above you, behind you, etc.. and since a projector is being used, you can't get in its way otherwise it won't display anything. Great for learning IR tech, but I don't see it getting commercial.

Jun 16, 2010 - This technology is not the future of foldable displays (e-papers) which actually lies in OLED technology and has already been demonstrated by Sony. Just type in Sony epaper or rolling paper

XOsquare Says:

Jun 18, 2010 - these are great ideas! you should start a business! Type OLED into youtube. If you combine this with OLED, it would be awsome!

PacoBell Says:

Jul 26, 2010 - @kal00sg1 The solution to that is multiple calibrated projectors to eliminate shadows.

PacoBell Says:

Jul 26, 2010 - @hitomearue More likely it would display pr0n when in private mode and some innocuous Disney flick when flat.

PacoBell Says:

Jul 26, 2010 - @gothgarg You technically could with picoprojectors, but I'm guessing he meant for this to be used in designated interactive spaces.

PacoBell Says:

Jul 26, 2010 - @DMarvellous Ideally, we would all wear video eyewear, but until then we've got picoprojectors.

PacoBell Says:

Jul 26, 2010 - @Spironic Optical object tracking is an elegant and low-cost alternative to coordinated discrete sensors. The projector is just a display. It could just as easily be a head-mounted display that superimposes the the image over your field of view.

PacoBell Says:

Jul 26, 2010 - @NiNJack Multiple projectors at various angles.

PacoBell Says:

Jul 26, 2010 - @SwisssBolla One word: picoprojector.

PacoBell Says:

Jul 26, 2010 - @odcastro LCD != LED. LCD is transmissive. LED is emissive. LEDs don't have a "backlight". They emit their own light.

kal00sg1 Says:

Jul 27, 2010 - @PacoBell Multiple projectors calibrated and communicating each other = LOOTS of money. The best bet would be the new foldable OLED displays, I think in the long run they would be cheaper than using projectors.

PacoBell Says:

Jul 27, 2010 - @kal00sg1 Sure, the projectors will cost something, but the seamless blending can be and is done purely in software (often free). OLED is nice, but it's still a physical display that must be as large as the image, which doesn't scale well at all, isn't portable, etc. In the end, the future of displays is personal, video-capable, high-definition, see-through color eyewear. Personal eyewear displays even solve the issue of synchronized multi-party 3D video quite handily.

Aug 5, 2010 - this is just amazing. this guy definitely needs more exposure.

Sep 4, 2010 - Wow. The projection doesn't delay and move around much but quite fix on the paper

baishihua Says:

Sep 4, 2010 - The projection stays very stable on those surface while he move them around
