Interactive Projector?

[ABearden]

Lee posted it originally, Dan's kinda excited about it, let's make it happen. It's great interactive tech for kids and adults alike! One of a few places the code is available.




Here's another fun application you could do on similar hardware. This uses mirrors and a laser diode, but a projector would work just as well (or better for simulating multiple objects).




What do you guys think? It's basically a projector, a kinect, and a sandbox. Plenty of free libraries for the Unity Game Engine that could tie the two together for custom applications, too, so SpokaneCREATE members wouldn't have to stick with just what's out there. We could play with it and grow it if wanted. Just seems like it'd be a big draw for people, get kids interested in tech, and be another great connection point between real and virtual processing. Pretty sure we can pull together a working projector from the three at the space. The only hard part would be the sand table because at 4" deep the sand would be 100 pounds per 3 sqft which means a 3'x3' table would weight 300 pounds. Making that mobile would get tricky fast but nothing is beyond you bunch.
