For week three, I looked at OmniTouch. This is where any surface can be trnsformed into a touch screeen.
Similar to Microsoft Kinect game system, OmniTouch uses a miniature projector and an infrared depth camera to create a designed to interface with mobile devices such as smart phones, that you where on your shoulder. The system uses the depth information provided by the camera to build a 3-D model of the environment to become the screen. The system rebuilds the model dynamically as the user or the surface moves. As quoted by the article: OmniTouch "figures out what's in front you and fits everything on to it."
