Make: Online : Automatic Projector Calibration

Automatic Projector Calibration

This is a really interesting project, although it is still in early development, the results are fantastic. Make sure to check out the end of the video, where they project images onto a model of a VW bug. This is going to be amazing when it is fully interactive and the calibration process is instant.

I wonder how far they've advanced this technique in the 14 months since this project was announced?

Err, sorry...48 months. I realize this is new to some people, still interesting, etc. But anyone experiencing a vague sense of deja vu is correct.

Johnny Lee is awesome, have a look at his other projects. The DIY interactive whiteboard is pretty cool.

Amazing. I wonder what is on his little optical sensor to USB board and how its hooked up. Just a USB mouse chip it looks like?
