3D Surface Computing by Microsoft

By Anonymous -
This project investigates techniques to enable interaction with 3D virtual worlds on interactive tabletops. We investigate techniques to extend the display space beyond the display using among others switchable projection screens. Another area of interest is sensing of 3D input data above 2D surfaces. Here we're presenting a number of interaction technique that enable fine-grained manipulations of virtual 3D worlds.

Interactions In the Air

This project explored several interaction techniques that allow for richer human computer interaction more akin to the flexible and continuous ways in which we manipulate objects in the real world. A model for more natural interactions with 3D data on interactive surfaces is introduced.
Because the interaction – the sensed input and the displayed output – is still bound to the surface, there is a fundamental limitation in manipulating objects using the third dimension. To address this issue, we proposed a novel approach to creating a continuous interaction space – on the surface and above the surface – conceptually allowing users to pick objects off the surface and manipulate their position in 3D as if it were a real object. We present several ways to enable “in-the-air” interactions that allow users to interact with 3D data (rendered on a 2D display) in a as-direct-as possible fashion. This approach utilizes several interesting hardware and software components such as a switchable diffuser, infrared illumination, IR-based depth estimation, holographic projection screens and a depth-sensing camera.


SecondLight

SecondLight is a new type of surface computer, one that opens up the interaction space above and beyond the display.
SecondLight supports multi-touch and tangible interactions like a regular Microsoft Surface, but simultaneously, our technology allows secondary content to be projected through the display, as well as sensing of user gestures and objects held above the surface.

The power of Bluetooth 4.0

Bluetooth, once trumpeted as the ultimate convenience, quickly proved a headache with plenty of pairing problems and inexplicable connection snafus. Bluetooth 4.0, the newest version of the technology, is about to change all that. The bad Bluetooth rep I personally use Bluetooth daily, and love it. My trusty   LG BHS-700s   works like a charm. For others, however, living with this technology can be frustrating. Often users are asked to enter annoying passwords before linking devices, and sudden reception drops or other software glitches make Bluetooth feel more painful than fun. Honestly I believe the bad old days of Bluetooth are behind us, especially with Bluetooth 4.0, AKA   Bluetooth Smart Ready , on the edge of mass adoption. Already available in the   Motorola Droid Razr   and   Droid Razr Maxx   smartphones plus Apple's   iPhone 4S , Bluetooth 4.0 is expected to hit more handsets and all manner of accessories this year. High-end hands...

How to hack your xbox 360 completely

By Anonymous -

So you want to hack your 360. Have no idea where to start? This thread should give you a general idea on what you can do with your 360. Lets get started. First of all you'll need to determine the age of your console. This will give you a general idea of what hack you can apply. On the back of the 360 there is a sticker near the AV port (Phat*&Slim*) On that you'll find the MFR date as well as the Console Serial and Product ID. Determining the age of the 360 ​ ​ You'll need to write down your MFR date. This will roughly tell you what board you have in your 360. Xenon: 2005 - 2007 203w power supply, can be JTAGged and RGH'd (14699 only) & R-JTAGged. Zephyr: 2007 - 2008 203w power supply, can be JTAGged and RGH'd (Hard to achieve) & R-JTAGged. Opus: Only from RRoD Repairs from MS (rare revisions) 203/175w power supply, can be JTAGged and RGH'd & R-JTAGged. Falcon: 2007 - 2009 175w power supply, can be JTAGged and ...

Wii Remote IR Camera Hack with Arduino Interface

By Anonymous -
Image
Step 1: Extract the Wii IR camera You'll need a Wii remote or "Wiimote" to start with. Normally they are about $40, in the end that is not too bad for a pretty awesome sensor. Otherwise you can check out ebay or elsewhere for used or broken Wii remotes. You'll need to rip apart the case. It has some crazy three pronged screws. I didn't want to completely trash the case so I made a small tool to take it apart. Now you need to desolder the 8 pins and the 2 struts holding the camera on the board. I used some desoldering braid. It wicks the solder away and makes it easy to get the camera out. Be careful, don't break the camera! You might want to keep the rest of the parts. You might be able to scrap other parts. Also, If you decide later to use the Wiimote again, you could always put the camera back in. Step 2: Interface Circuitry We'll need a small circuit to interface the IR camera to the arduino. I got all m...
