First Shareable Interactive Display

Posted by timothy on from the no-porn-here-aunt-margie dept.

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."

  1. Self-plugging story submissions by lightningrod220 · · Score: 1, Troll

    Hasn't slashdot learned by now not to let through any stories that were submitted by the people involved in the story's subject? We get goofy ones where the guy is plugging his own site or stuff for some greedy, selfish, or underhanded reason.

  2. Had this for years by Ridgelift · · Score: 0, Troll

    I've seen this technology for years. It's called the "Microsoft Product Line".

    For example, here's what Microsoft sees:
    "Windows XP Home Edition sets a new standard for performance and reliability. If you demand the most from your operating system, this version of Windows was designed for you"

    And here's what I see:
    "A shoddy piece of crap that is vulnerable to viruses and malware. Unable to extract the kind of reliability and flexibility that Debian Linux can".

    See? Same thing's on the screen, but we see two totally different things.

  3. cute trick, but useless by jho1 · · Score: 0, Troll

    its not anything special, not innovative,nor is it clever, but otherwise cute. even coming from a marketing background i don't see any potiential. Kinda reminds me of those really old toys that sing "its a small world after all" and shows a small movie using the same tech. But its a cute attempt. even for mac users who like 2 screens, they still have to pivot themselves in order to see the other screen. Still cute though.
