    Museums would be interesting again if they had these in them. It'd certainly make me start visiting them again.

    I wandered into the hard rock this weekend, not knowing it or this wall was new, about 3 hours after opening. The multitouch is a little clunky, but overall very smooth. People were throwing things between divisions of screen with ease. Pretty sweet tech.

    I hate to say this, but Obscura themselves aren't doing anything special. Rather the technology is in the projectors. Projector manufacturer Christie have an interesting video DSP tech called Twist. This will map images to curved surfaces and map images across several projectors, taking into account size and blending.

    For years making a multi projector array was a pain, alinging all the projectors perfectly. With the Twist and the Autostack function you point a video camera at your projection surface and the Twist DSP then aligns it all automatically.

    @nimblesquirrel: Actually, this is all software stuff, and independent of the projectors used. You can plug in any projectors into their software, and it'll compensate for their qualities. And sync up all their pictures.

    It's a really cool use of technology, but the grammar errors in this article are just killing me.

    @crazacool: I'm glad to hear that you were killed by the GRAMMATICAL errors. You're obviously not well versed in grammar.

    @lifetentatively: that's not really a mistake. It's like saying "math errors" instead of "mathematical errors". If enough people say it, it becomes a colloquialism and then enters into the language again.
