iCam: Precise at-a-distance Interaction

Precise indoor localization is quickly becoming a reality, but application demonstrations to date have been limited to use of only a single piece of location information attached to an individual sensing device. The localized device is often held by an individual, allowing applications, often unreliably, to make high-level predictions of user intent based solely on that single piece of location information. In this project, we demonstrate how effective integration of sensing and laser-assisted interaction results in a handheld device, the iCam, which simultaneously calculates its own location as well as the location of another object in the environment. We demonstrate a gaming application.
