[4eyes] Beamatron

[Saiph Savage]

Thought this could be interesting to the research of some in the lab:

Using Kinect to construct physics of the room for AR:

 Beamatron is a new, augmented-reality concept that combines a projector
and a Kinect camera on a pan-tilt moving head. The moving head is used to
place the projected image almost anywhere in a room. Meanwhile, the depth
camera enables the correct warping of the displayed image for the shape of
the projection surface and for the projected graphics to react in
physically appropriate ways. For example, a projected virtual car can be
driven on the floor of the room but will bump into obstacles or run over
ramps. As another application, we consider the ability to bring
notifications and other graphics to the attention of the user by
automatically placing the graphics within the user’s view.
