ok so what we were thinking was some how turning this into a surface, much like a table. we had thought that modifying a card table would work well as it is rather portable and seeing as how Saturday house is also (for the time being) portable this attribute could come in handy. so in the end it comes down to just a couple of parts.
-projector -table -acrylic or glass surface (to be used as the surface onto which we will be projecting our screen) -velcro and a length of fabric that will both reach all the way around the edge of the table and reach to the ground (not necessary however will help block out background IR) -mirrors -camera -IR leds or just an IR light source if i forgot anything i am sure Daniel will add it -Ryan On Apr 27, 9:04 am, Lion Kimbro <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for sharing so much about the project, and volunteering for Saturday. > > What are the next steps in the reactable plan? > > And are there any preparations for Saturday we can make beforehand? > * Supplies? > * Research questions to post to boards? > * Specific skills requested? > > My understanding from the meeting last Saturday is that we're meeting at > your > place on Saturday, ~noon, -> ~6-8 PM. > > On Sat, Apr 25, 2009 at 9:49 PM, Crusoe <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Well, I volunteered.
