So...it detects a specific pattern in front of my webcam and draws an animation over it? And the animation reacts to me blowing into a microphone? I don't know, I didn't find this that exciting; a bit disappointing given the title. Maybe I'm missing something.

Also, FYI: If you want to try it without wasting paper/ink, I was able to play with it by putting the PDF with the pattern to one side of my screen and using my iPhone's screen to reflect it to my webcam.

Pretty cool, except the fact that they advise everyone to waste a sheet of paper to see their green tech demo.
