The IllumiRoom: a proof-of-concept system from Microsoft Research which, sez a boffin:
…uses a Kinect for Windows camera and a projector to blur the lines between on-screen content and the environment we live in allowing us to combine our virtual and physical worlds. For example, our system can change the appearance of the room, induce apparent motion, extend the field of view, and enable entirely new game experiences. Our system uses the appearance and the geometry of the room (captured by Kinect) to adapt the projected visuals in real-time without any need to custom pre-process the graphics. What you see in the videos below has been captured live and is not the result of any special effects added in post production.

I’m pretty sure anyone living in Dublin City centre has spotted at least a few our Canadian visitors overhead over the past week or two. Well I managed to get a snap or two (above) of some stragglers this morning. I love these guys!

This work is an alphabetical list of the most important architects with their best known building. A lot of them have been left out with grief because we only need one for each letter and we done an effort to have differents nationalities.
Full list of architects and buildings here.
Hmm.
