Ubiprojection 2010We just got word Ubiprojection 2010, the 1st workshop on personal projection. This should be an interesting event: "The main goal of the workshop is to develop an understanding of how mobile and wearable pico projectors could be combined with new user interfaces, interaction techniques and applications. We seek for new ideas, prototypes, and insights as a basis to develop a deeper understanding of the field". These guys have published a couple of augmented-reality videos with their current work. The first is a game that combines a projector and a camera. The idea is that the whole thing interacts with the real world: The second demo is an implementation of the Harry Potter's Marauders Map: display your friends' location on a map. It's cute. If you wonder why they use a real map (and not a projected map) than they say that it simply looks better - the real map has a better 'resolution' than a projected one... Here's the demo: The workshop will take place in Helsinki, Finland on 17 May 2010. They are still looking for original and unpublished contributions (deadline is February 1st).
