I thought I had mentioned TED before, but apparently I haven't.
In short, it is amazing.
This latest TED video is a short demo by researcher Johnny Lee that has spread like wildfire over major web hot spots like Digg, YouTube and BoingBoing (where I picked it up). Millions have already seen his research, a statistic that might instigate a revolution in science marketing all by itself.
His easy, intuitive use of commercial off the shelf technology is mind blowing, and potentially revolutionary. Using little more than the infrared sensor on a Nintendo Wii remote, Lee shows how simple it can be to create highly sophisticated tools - such as a projected touchscreen digital white board, or eye-tracking virtual three dimensional spaces.
Sound technical? Probably. But it is certainly impressive, and it could hit the commercial and educational markets faster than you might expect.
