Hi David
That really is quite amazing! There is definitely some potential for this kind of interaction in the AT arena. Watching that video I was wondering if people who have dementia could benefit in some way from a version of such a system. When those mini projectors (used in this project) first came out, I remember immediately thinking of potential applications for AAC and managed to get hold of one of the 3M ones but the image quality and brightness weren't very good. Hopefully these will get better with time. It is great to hear that the Sixth Sense project is going to be made open-source!
Cheers,
Aejaz
