Using projection and gestures to create interactive relationship with information - video embedded below:
Fujitsu Laboratories has developed a next generation user interface which can accurately detect the users finger and what it is touching, creating an interactive touchscreen-like system, using objects in the real word.
“We think paper and many other objects could be manipulated by touching them, as with a touchscreen. This system doesn’t use any special hardware; it consists of just a device like an ordinary webcam, plus a commercial projector. Its capabilities are achieved by image processing technology.”
Using this technology, information can be imported from a document as data, by selecting the necessary parts with your finger.

I decided to do a case study on the Design & UX of my Tumblr web project Black In History in the context of social & cultural change. It’s a bit of a long read, but I had a lot to say.
It’s titled “Using design as a weapon to affect perspectives on race & culture”. I was up late finishing this guys. I made visual aids for it and everything. Me write good.

Attempting to write my first article on Medium. Got inspired by a fellow Tumblr follower (dubiousradical) to write on this subject.
I’ve started over 3 times already, haha. I’m afraid of it becoming longwinded. But I have a lot to say.
Jumping past 33,000. Last time I checked in with you guys, I was at 20,000. Wassup.

Tune in tomorrow for another entry. But in the meantime, see what all the hullaballoo is about.
