Interactive Brainstorm Table Works in Mysterious Ways
Posted by Seamus Byrne at 10:06 PM on May 18, 2007
There was precious little information accompanying this video that landed in our tip box this morning, but as you can plainly see, it's a light table-like device that immediately scans whenever you set upon it, and it lets you resize, move and animate objects together using gestures.
It looks like there's a camera above that can immediately take a picture of whatever you set on the table. It's somehow able to cut out the image as it's being scanned. Now if they could just tweak that display to be a bit less washed out, they might be onto something here. Excuse us while we have a brainstorm trying to figure out how this thing works.

If you notice, when she takes a photo of the coke can standing vertically the picture appears as the top not the bottom, meaning this thing has a camera mounted vertically above it; out of sight of the video.. sly dogs eh? the multi-touch display is nothing new but the software running it is, kind of interesting how it can make motion off a number of keyframes, seems like an adaptation of flash's animation style.

something looks a bit fake about it...... it almost looks like some very tricky stop motion animation.
