First Shareable Interactive Display

Jeremy Newton writes "I want to share with you a new device that allows multiple moving images to be displayed to several users from the same screen at the same time. The project is called a "Shift in Time," my thesis project for NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program. The driving goal of this project was to end fighting over the remote control, the gamepad, or the keyboard. It also makes room for new applications in marketing, games, and education. Recently it's gotten some buzz on Engadget.com."

This is nothing compared to my man/cat display

[birge]

What is it with the recent self-promotional use of /.? Next week, I'm going to try to get my own research on Slashdot: It is a liquid crystal display designed to be used by a man and cat, simultaneously. I call it kittiplexing, and it shows the human user their normal Windows XP desktop while showing a bouncing ball around the screen for the benefit of the cat. It requires that the cat wear a head-mounted optical unit I call the Digital Light Directing Optic. But once you strap it to the pussy, you just keep getting Windows until the batteries run out on the DLDO.
