Yes. I'm moving this to Tech Board because I anticipate discussion of the technology rather than anything to do with C programming per se.

I enjoy TED and might check this out sometime, but I think this should fall in the "General Discussions" category.
EDIT: Too late
I hope there's an awesome twist at the end of this video.

I have implemented a truly marvelous program for this, which this margin is too narrow to contain.Originally Posted by Vxyz
What exactly do you mean by "how"? If you have any visions of grandeur of implementing such a system yourself, take AndrewHunter's advice about learning how to program first.

@ Andrew - I read that whole thing yesterday and didn't make the connection here that you just did. Sadly on track, it would seem.
I was hoping more something like: "Really, we are joking folks! This is pretty stupid if you come to think of it. What we did here is another motion sensing device. Forget all that nonsense about objects and real life. That's my open source marketing department talk."

"Open source marketing" is something of an oxymoron, don't you think?
But yes, it is considerably less impressive than he makes it seem... basically it it is a vision sensor tied to a projector... interresting, but hardly something anyone needs in day to day computing... I, for one, am not about to walk around with a bunch of crap strapped to my body just so I can do a task that is easily done on a smartphone I can stick in my pocket.
Not all of us want to be inserparably tied to --hence: dependent upon-- computers.

Yes. A real one.
