This class was very interesting. Although I was not assigned a ton of things to do, I was able to research many things for my next project. I'm not that sure what specific project i'm going to do next, after I finish the How-To-Make-A-Wiimote guide, however I do have several ideas that might be very interesting. The one I think I will do is displayed in this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgrGjJUBF_I. It is called: Automatic Projector Calibration with Embedded Light Sensors, and is another of the Johnny Chung Lee Projects. About once a year I have cause to set up a projector, and every time I wonder why the projector doesn’t have a small camera embedded within it that it could use to aim, focus, and adjust the keystone and angle itself. UVa alumnus Johnny Chung Lee has created just such a system, which he demonstrates, once again, in this very impressive video. He provides some further examples to show that this has much wider applications than for setting up projectors.It might be difficult to make, but I am definitely ready for the challenge.
