This device was created by Teehan+Lax Labs and is a combination of software and hardware to allow realtime manipulation of content on a remote device via touch interface on a mobile device. Now, users can use their mobile device screen as an input, which is known as a form of AR. The application can view its surrounding environment as well as understand it. THe creators paired the principles of AR with the touch ability on a mobile phone in order to create an entirely new interactive experience.
I thought this was an interesting development since we are getting close to learning Arduino in class. Also, the idea of linking this technology to a mobile phone could be an accessible solution for an interactive public piece.
