[4eyes] AR interaction with projectors

[Saiph Savage]

Thanks for discussing this Guys, good points raised.

With respect to Steffen's questions, I think it's the whole package that
bothers me: using a kinect controller for everything, building ugly 3D
models without knowing what for, using projectors to project low resolution
stuff on everything even if the low resolution makes it useless and if it's
shaking like hell, and building technology demos for the purpose of showing
technology rather than trying to first understand what you want to use it
for, and why, and what technology you need in the first place. ...But my
primary pet peeve is using a kinect controller for everything, a hammer in
search for nails.

Thanks for reading me.

Cheers
