Waking up in the same place every morning is boring

I was hoping for someone who actually tries to sleep somewhere different every night. Reminds me of a friend who tries to never order the same thing twice at any restaurant. Doesn't take too long before that becomes difficult, but any time he goes to a restaurant that has something he hasn't tried, he orders that. I was always impressed with that approach to life.

I'm curious. Does your friend balance his meal exploration adventureness with boring-ness in other parts of his life? Or is he a free spirit?

All product demo videos should include a confused baby.

Waking up alone every morning isn't fun either, but that's what you'll need to do for perspective tracking to work properly.

And wear a large necklace box.

I wonder if you can achieve similar effect by projecting a video shot with fisheye lens onto a concave screen.

Hidden down below he also has a video of how he made it:

Sweet Minerva, this is super cool! I hope this technology matures.

This is one of the promises of sci-fi, right? It seems a heck of a lot easier to do right than flying cars.

The short train scene shown in the video is from http://nrkbeta.no/2009/12/18/bergensbanen-eng/

This reminded me of an old movie:

Makes more sense to Italian speaking people.

now all we need is for someone to get the right head tracking cameras set up for a more production ready solution. how cool would that be!

I like the way it combines the Wii and the iPhone. The name -- Winscape -- is unfortunate though. It makes it sound like a Windows program.

[olliesaunders → asimjalis]

Well it is a program, sort of, for windows, sort of, but not for Windows, I think.

A great gift for your friends with only one eye.

I believe stereo vision provides little 3D info at long distances.

[jrockway → Aron]

But it provides info at short distances, which is where the monitors are.

It's cool, but not as cool as waking up in other people's beds.
