iPad projector concept displays objects in 3D
N-3D DEMO from aircord on Vimeo.
Tonight seems to be the night for 3D. A design team released a proof of concept video showing how it’s possible to use an iPad to project a 3D image to the naked eye. It requires some special hardware, but it’s still pretty damn amazing. Check out the video after the jump.
Currently, viewers can move around and view an image as if it was an object literally floating in space. Of course, right now it’s just a proof of concept, but if the team at Aircord Labs can pull it off, this has the chance to be an amazing bit of technology.

iChatr: Chatroulette for the iPhone
Oh, Internet, is there anything you can’t do? iChatr, a new app for the iPhone, is essentially Chatroulette for the iPhone. It’s pretty barren right now – I saw the same people once or twice – but the quality is pretty good and if you have a Sing-a-ma-jig, you can actually make dour iPhone 4 users smile. To move to the next person you simply swipe their face.
The app is free and was made by SKJM. It uses the iPhone 4’s front camera and makes an ad hoc connection with another camera on the network. It works over Wi-Fi.
Give it a try right now before it becomes a haven for masticators.
Microsoft taking a loss on Kinect?
Inside sources close to the matter have said that the build costs of Kinect are near $150. When you add up all the time to write the software and the costs of the hardware, it gets expensive. This has many people at Microsoft concerned.
Usually Microsoft takes a loss on their consoles in hopes of making money on the software and add ons. With Kinect, there is no exception, says a “A highly-positioned, trusted source“. Microsoft is betting that Kinect will have more people running to the stores to buy bundles including a new Xbox.
What are you thinking of doing?
