This would be awesome for interactive display in museums and such. For commercial applications, I guess you can tie the content with the light configuration too....

Hmmm possibilities... possibilities...

currently, it looks for 3 brightest lightspots coming in from the camera with a close ratio on the distance between them (2:2:1)

from these, I can guestimate distance rotation and position.

The video I uploaded is using a picture shown on another n900 to supply the spots (another app would be high 5 )

currently there is no barcode style information in the detection routine but it has crossed my mind to allow numeric identifiers to be stored within there (using a sierpinski layout)




this is the camera view showing detected elements

never left my head
I have had some crazy ideas about how to pull this off, but it seemed the simplest and most reproducible, even though it needs extra hardware.

I just uploaded another video to youtube showing the liqmouse concept
it is not a working prototype and is just visualisation of the idea
