Projector

SideBySide is a novel interactive system that allows multiple people to play and work together using handheld projectors at any time and anyplace. The system is immediate and simple: users simply project onto a surface and their projection becomes aware and responsive to other projections nearby. Interaction can range from projector-based games, such as boxing with projected characters, to everyday tasks such as exchanging contact information by ‘dragging and dropping’ onto another user’s projection.

Importantly, SideBySide does not require any fixed sensing in the environment and can be used anywhere: at home, at the office, or even inside the car during long road trips. The system consists of a hybrid mobile projector that outputs both visible and invisible projections at the same time. The invisible projection contains tracking data that can be recognized by the device camera, allowing accurate location tracking of multiple projections and lightweight communication between devices.

  1. Wow, this is the genesis of a lot of really interactive tech that we will see in 5-10 years. Should do a lot for making new attractions and lines more interactive as well. Will be interesting to see if they can get it to a point fast enough for use in Avatar Land. I can also see cell phones using this type of tech as well in about 10 years.
