Interactive 3D Virtual Environment

Simon Greenwold from MIT Media Lab aesthetics and computation group developed a new concept for creating an easy to use combination of real and virtual environments. Using what he calls a "window" (a large portable touch sensitive screen) equipped with a high res digital camera in the back, he created a device which captures a real environment and let the user add fixed virtual three dimensional objects inside it using a simple stylus input device.

A powerful integration of technologies. I could see this applied commercially in any before and after presentation in a live setting(engineers, designers, curators).

Apply that to a rollable display with a infrared camera and xray and youv'e got a sweet piece of spy equipment.
