POCOMO TECHNOLOGY
1
PoCoMo is an implementation of a vision in future-projected social
interfaces. In this project we try to capture the playfulness of
collaborative gaming and apply it to projected interfaces. The maturing
of handheld micro-projector technology, in conjunction with advanced
mobile environments, enable this novel type of interaction. Our system
is made of a micro-projector mobile device with a specially designed
case that turns it into a first-of-a-kind handheld mini-projector-camera
system. Computer Vision algorithms support collaborative interaction
between multiple users of the system. Through PoCoMo, we wish to
explore the social nature of projected interfaces. To accommodate this
we designed the projection to be of human cartoon-like characters that
play out a personal interaction. Following their human controllers, they
recognize each other, wave hello, shake hands, and exchange
presents.
