A Virtual Wind

My friend Dan has turned me on to augmented reality--no, not the kind where you have to ingest peyote and roll around on the porch until you find your spot, ala Journey to Ixtlan. Rather, it's a project whereby a graphic on your webcam identifies a spot to project another object on to your video. No comprende? Me neither. Read about it starting here. Or watch my test of GE's use of it in the video below. Or see other examples here.

Hand me that card... I want my PowerPoint slides to bubble up in front of me... oh, the implications for visual aid speeches!

As long as you're giving the presentation on a webcam, that slide can sure bubble up.
