Here’s a rather interesting laser pointer project that can detect where laser is pointed on a surface and will execute a desired command that you can set. I think this type of project can be very useful for certain applications, enjoy~~
Laserspotcam is a software I wrote to control xmms using a laser pointer by pointing defined areas on a wall.
The software monitors the wall for the presence of a small spot using a webcam. When the spot appears somew
If I had a million dollars, I’d make sure to get these light-up benches for my outdoor patio. (which of course if protected by overhanging canvas from rain)
Better yet, add some solar panels and make it solar powered.
The bench is suitable for indoor and outdoor, and is weather resistant and rugged. Several benches can be combined together for a more dramatic look. It operates by an individually pre-programmed remote control that is simple and intuitive to use. Almost an art object, the Light Bench creates the right presence in creat

It is “always on” and communicates the presence and signal strength of an in-range hotspot by way of sequences of pulses – like a heartbeat you can feel. The stronger and faster the “heartbeat”, the stronger the w

Check out this cool wii hack that allows you to use wii controller as a Midi controller!
This is very similar to the Wii guitar but you could probably do more with midi.
Thanks crustea for the tip!
In addition to the traditional buttons, force feedback and the integrated mini-speaker, the true innovation is the presence of a gravity and acceleration sen
