Wearable Multitouch Projector

This project is a depth-sensing and projection system that enables interactive multitouch applications on everyday surfaces. Beyond a shoulder-worn system, there is no instrumentation of the user or the environment. Foremost, on such surfaces—without calibration—Wearable Multitouch Interaction provides capabilities similar to those of a mouse or a touchscreen: X and Y locations in 2-D interfaces and whether fingers are "clicked" or hovering, enabling a wide variety of interactions. Reliable operation on the hands, for example, requires buttons to be 2.3 centimeters in diameter. Thus, it is now conceivable that anything one can do on today's mobile devices can be done in the palm of a hand.

Bad Idea Microsoft

This looks really cool! I belive that technology nowadays is advancing at such a fast rate. At this rate I might have to stop using my aaxa m2 micro projector and start using more advanced projectors such as this one!

it's just a kinect sensor connected to his shoulder
