[4eyes] AR interaction with projectors

[Steffen Gauglitz]

Maybe you can be a little bit more specific by what you mean with  "it". 
What is the "big, fat sledge hammer" here?
Are you talking about the Kinect? The handheld projectors? All of 
spatial AR?

I agree that some of the demos they show are eye-candy, but to me, pico 
projectors seem to be a promising display for AR -- considering that all 
alternative display systems so far have their quirks too...
