Waking up in the same place every morning is boring

I was hoping for someone who actually tries to sleep somewhere different every night. Reminds me of a friend who tries to never order the same thing twice at any restaurant. Doesn't take too long before that becomes difficult, but any time he goes to a restaurant that has something he hasn't tried, he orders that. I was always impressed with that approach to life.

I'm curious. Does your friend balance his meal exploration adventureness with boring-ness in other parts of his life? Or is he a free spirit?

All product demo videos should include a confused baby.

Waking up alone every morning isn't fun either, but that's what you'll need to do for perspective tracking to work properly.

I wonder if you can achieve similar effect by projecting a video shot with fisheye lens onto a concave screen.

Hidden down below he also has a video of how he made it:

Sweet Minerva, this is super cool! I hope this technology matures.

This is one of the promises of sci-fi, right? It seems a heck of a lot easier to do right than flying cars.

This reminded me of an old movie:

Makes more sense to Italian speaking people.

now all we need is for someone to get the right head tracking cameras set up for a more production ready solution. how cool would that be!

I like the way it combines the Wii and the iPhone. The name -- Winscape -- is unfortunate though. It makes it sound like a Windows program.

Well it is a program, sort of, for windows, sort of, but not for Windows, I think.

A great gift for your friends with only one eye.

I believe stereo vision provides little 3D info at long distances.

But it provides info at short distances, which is where the monitors are.

It's cool, but not as cool as waking up in other people's beds.
