MADDY McGEE, P.I. » Ready? FIGHT.
Britt and I had some fun times at TCAF last Saturday! We didn’t have a table, mind you, and were only able to attend for the one day (which is unfortunate; the best panels were on Sunday), but it was great to say hi to some of our favourite cartoonists. I wish I could’ve said hello to a lot more people, but that day was just TOO crazy.

I put a new blog post up on the site regarding the upcoming pages, as well as a tiny post-TCAF report!
Prototype Real / Digital Info Interface System
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.

In this week’s Maddy page, we give you some happy times! And then take it away from you just like that. Sorry about that.
