Finding Things to Project On
Occassionally we get downtime on the Emerging Experiences team — but not very much. After a recent project we decided to play with some of the technology we have lying around. One of our favorite toys for 2012 is the high-end projector (pick yours up for Christmas now!). With a powerful projector you can create great interactive experiences on glass, on store windows, on mist, on water and so on. When a projector is pointed at a flat surface, it creates the illusion of depth. Lately we have been playing with the idea of shining a projector on surfaces that already have depth. Next step — hooking this up to an array of Kinect sensors to see what projecting on 3D surfaces that interact with 3D depth cameras will look like.
