Comments on: Multi user interaction with handheld projectors http://johnnyholland.org/2009/03/multi-user-interaction-with-handheld-projectors/ It's all about interaction Fri, 26 Apr 2013 13:38:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: CD Evans http://johnnyholland.org/2009/03/multi-user-interaction-with-handheld-projectors/#comment-107148 CD Evans Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:31:10 +0000 http://johnnyholland.org/?p=1525#comment-107148 This is very important technology. Imagine it at high resolution. In focus. Not very complicated stuff to achieve, but it could easily lead to replacing screens, in many situations. Shine it at the train station to see the train info, in the shops to see the product info, at your friends computer to access files, etc. The possibilities are really endless, especially with multiple projectors. Wouldn't be suprised if some of the interaction patterns in this video make their way into the future, even in other use cases. Enjoy it, it's like the early days of television, all over again.

That's perhaps the very first example I've seen of real world tasks being performed in an Augmented Reality environment. I share your hesitance over the actual usefulness of projector technology, but I can easily imagine this kind of research being very useful when applied to a Heads Up Display environment - no issues of privacy there. In fact it could be worse - if two people are wearing HUDs and 'think' they're seeing the same view, one of them could have been hacked, etc and could be manipulated into authorising something they wouldn't otherwise.
