Does anyone remember MIT's Sixth Sense? It won a massive amount of awards in 2009. It was going to change the world.
Wearable gestural interfaces that would free people from computers. Until the mass hallucination stopped and people realised projectors just don't work like that in the real world.
Projectors are notoriously terrible in well lit environments, especially if you don't have a specialized screen to project onto, and double especially if you don't want one that needs active cooling and constantly dumps hundreds of watts of heat into the room.
Jeri Ellsworth's platform is just this. Rerto reflective mats/screens that show each user only their own projections. I haven't used them but friends that have loved them.
I have some of the Tilt5 glasses. They're pretty cool, albeit I wish I had more to actually use them for. They've mostly sat in their case.
They work very well in moderate light-- like the kind of lighting that you might have in a living room to watch television. I feel like they're a little washed-out in light bright enough to read by.
Uh, "can you now make a noise" and "can you not make a noise" are very different instructions. Also noting that the plonky xylophone music and voiceover soldier on over where we'd presumably hear the theremin-style tones of 'an oscillator based on the length of the line'.
The overall idea seems cool but I'm not sure how useful it would be outside of demos where you already know the questions to get the answers you want.
This site's DNS does not resolve for me on either Cloudflare or Google's DNS, but I can resolve it using MXtoolbox and some other DNS checkers. New site?

I asked, why wouldn't the user just mount a few iPads on the wall? It would be cheaper.
Their answer made no sense, and the product never launched.
