From what I know, software like this has been in the works for a while. The only things I’ve seen like it, however, don’t allow you to interact with what the camera is sensing, but only what is on the touch screen. I feel like, if applied to a touch screen larger than that of a smart phone (say, an iPad which would allow for more control), this software would be much more versatile and easy-to-use. I’d like to see how it would be implemented in a gallery or other art setting; I can’t imagine it being anything other than interactive. I wish I had more knowledge of the arduino and what it’s capable of; I’d probably appreciated that this software can interact with it more.
