Gadget of the year

Post by Drolgin Steingrinder »

From TED.com, an awesome gizmo with a cool factor of about a million: http://tinyurl.com/btmdy6

Ok, to go into more detail: From some of the smart brains at MIT, a personal, portable projector+camera solution with gesture and motion recognition that seamlessly integrates (through bluetooth) with your cellphone with some pretty cool application possibilities.

CBF watching a video about "game changing wearable tech" that has no other preamble.

In fact, it seems like the whole thing could be explained in 2 paragraphs and save me downloading a whole video...

Honestly I couldn't watch the whole thing. I found her voice too annoying.

Neat device. It would be fun to project Geometry Wars on a wall and play during downtime.

I think it's pretty f'ing sweet and I'll definitely own one at some point in the future.

Worth the 9 minutes it takes to watch the video. Her "annoying voice" is just an accent that isn't that difficult to understand.

I realize it's an accent. That doesn't make it any less annoying. To me.
