I demoed this project as part of the ProCams session of CVPR back in 2006. That was a great event btw. At the time I was heavily into camera projector systems, and the two systems that I made, Public Space Invaders and this one, were really primitive versions of the Kinect and the Wii. So, technically I invented both of those 🙂 I thought this one was particularly nice because I have such a soft spot for IR. It’s like being able to control things by harnessing the energy from a different plane of existence. Anyway this video shows some of the ideas I had for using the system, but the one I really wanted to implement, and still might, uses a IR laser pointer for control of presentations. Of course, 6 years ago there were more uses for a system like that, than there probably are today. I haven’t thought about this in a while perhaps I should put that project on the resurrection list…

And now… please enjoy this video.
