I really like what people are doing here, with applications of depth perception and sensing from Kinect (a similar hardware), there are other project I've seen throughout the years that are intriguing. (Please share any you've found.)

I recently saw this from UC Davis - an augmented-reality sandbox: http://idav.ucdavis.edu/~okreylos/ResDev/SARndbox/

Also, there is the Fluid Interfaces group at the MIT Media Lab (http://fluid.media.mit.edu/), which aims "to design novel form factors that leverage the full range of sensory capabilities and control modalities of the user...".

Although I don't see the immediate practicality of this project, it's very inspiring. I like to imagine this project used at a pool, like when kids are playing or diving for sunken objects, how cool would that aquatic playground be?



This would be an awesome way to interact with computers, if I didn't have to get my hands wet to use it! Love the effect of the speaker blasting water up.
