TradeMark Gunderson of the The Evolution Control Committee made this amazing rear-projected infra-red-activated faux-touchscreen mashup controller... hacked from Wiimotes.

Is it just me or was there no mash-up video demonstrated in that mash-up video demo?

Is that Xeni's dad?

"For over 20 years the ECC has been making mashups..."

Wake up people: Xeni... is... a... mashup?

I think I might have everything I need to build this... but how? The projector is self explanatory. Looks like you can talk to it through a bluetooth module.

I found this link. It looks like it installs a joystick device. Not sure what all the inputs might be and how you use them of if you can use it as a "mouse" using the IR camera tracker. http://www.wiiprojects.org/bluetooth.html

Looks like I know what I'm working on tonight...

Looks like it's not all that simple either. hmm.

Wow, I am so not in the cool club. That description might as well be in Tuvan. Have to wait to get home (away from the streaming filter at work) to watch this inexplicable video.

I have a slight man-crush on that guy's voice.

Now I have a new voice to imagine narrating the minutiae of my everyday life.

Although the thimble/Wii thing is kinda neat, it seems a bit unneeded, especially if touch screens become larger and more commonplace.

The Fucking Moon. That one went on every mixtape I made in high school.

Hey jerks come back to Columbus! I don't know where you live now but I bet it's lame.

Oh yeah and I remember their website clued me in to searching for "mic in line" with Napster. You'd get all kinds of mp3s of people talking to themselves or doing fake radio shows, or testing out their new PC mics. Napster, I kinda miss you.

I prefer WiiJTimski, because he makes into a performance and he doesn't use the infrared:

I agree - what a great narration voice! I would love to see a longer, more detailed demo.

gnosis: the whole thing can be gleaned by watching the johnny chung lee video at TED and any of a billion Ableton Live (the software on the screen) tutorials on the 'tube.
