Ken and his students worked for months to combine a realtime drawing system with cued content to convey what it might be like in the future - so it's a hybrid between a concept and a real working system. He isn't trying to fake anything, he is saying - what if the future could be like this in a shared augmented reality? It's a concept he originally called Ecescopy on his blog - and I think its powerful as a platform for thinking about social HCI.

@smokechok really? Of course he clicks a button, the button tells the computer record next gesture or something similar. Otherwise he would be drawing or erasing or filling every time he moves his hands throughout the talk and enters the detection zone. Gestures might be mouse/kb free, but selection of tool may not be.

@smokechok i realize this is the internet but how did this level of stupid reach a siggraph video XD

Great talk and very good ideas, the hands on aspect of learning is a very important one!

@smokechok So, did you actually listen to what he was saying? The whole point is that this is a technology of the future. The drawings are created in real time, whereas some of the actions are initiated via keys.

11:38 = fail he press the button to erase, he don't erase with his hand FAKE!!!!!!!
