Unbelievable Mobile and Projection Technology
Here are three videos explaining some of the coolest technology I’ve seen in a long time. A friend sent me these videos and I had to post them because they impressed me so much, especially the top one. Check it out. Can you imagine a world where this type of technology was widespread? I can’t wait.
This first video is a presentation at TED and it demonstrates a device you can wear around your neck, giving you completly mobile access to the internet in ways you have to see to believe.
This second video shows how you can use a Wii remote to turn any wall into a computer screen. This guy shows how he creates it using regular household items. Amazing.
This last video demonstrates technology for projecting content on surfaces and the ability of the source to detect the size, shape and position of the projection surface and adjusting the content accordingly.
The future looks good to me! I get so excited thinking about the stuff we’re all going to be exposed to during our lifetimes. I’m sure much of it is still beyond imagination at this point.

Patrick, I’m glad you liked the videos I sent over! I completely agree with your comments above. When I saw the TED video for the first time I thought:
1) I’m so glad I’m alive when I am.
2) Give this tech about 5 – 10 years and imagine what we’ll be able to do!
Regarding the Wii Remote videos from Johnny Lee: He’s a freakin’ genius. His whole goal is to get 80% of functionality of some of the standard options with only 5% of the cost… I love how his mind works. If people have time, check out his other videos. I hear he became a big employee acquisition target of Microsoft and it looks like he took the job. I’m sure they would LOVE to use this tech in their developments (especially his head tracking video which will enable XBOX to compete with WII in user interface coolness).
