[Pattie Maes] from MIT's Media Lab showed a really interesting augmented
reality demo at TED this year. It's a wearable projector that lets you
interact with any surface. A camera tracks the gestures your fingertips
make and performs related actions. She shows several uses: projecting a
dial pad on your hand, displaying additional info on a product you're
holding, and taking a picture when you form a frame with your hands. The
current equipment cost is $350, but that would be reduced in a dedicated
device.

Go there..
