Laser Burns Flash Paper through Water

  Didn’t think a laser could retain this much power after traveling through many inches of water. But it looks like this 150mW laser somehow managed to do it. The target is flash paper, not regular paper which may have a bit to do with it but it is impressive regardless! Anyone think this is not real or staged somehow?

NUI Multitouch Table at Cityscape Abu Dhabi

  We have seen some decent sized miltitouch systems in the past but this Multitouch Table by NUI is huge! I guess when the project is worth 60 billion dollars like the Cityscape Abu Dhabi nothing but the latest and greatest display will do.

My 2.0 Home - Pipe Organ Chair

Once you are done with the Pipe Organ Chair video above get a sneak peek behind the scenes and see the setup where everything comes together. I sure wish I had a stocked tool area like that. 🙂  

RFID Poker Table

  This RFID Poker Table one hell of a cool project. You can now play your Sunday night poker game and invite spectators to watch on a big screen. While the cost of the system would surly place it out of reach of the casual poker player I can see this being a hit in bars and clubs. Is this the next standard in game play? What the system needs

NaviSense Touchless Human Interaction

  At first I thought this system may have used a camera that watched the movement of an object and sent mouse like coordinates based on the movement. Turns out that after having a look at the patent the NaviSense system uses ultrasonic technology to track your finger. It looks very impressive but I would have to use it to be convinced. "The iPoint™ is a small motion sensing mouse
