Bringing Toys To Life: Intel Labs OASIS Project
January 26, 2011This is a cool video from research scientist Beverly Harrison and company working on the OASIS (Object-Aware Situated Interactive System) project at Intel Labs. They recently gave a demo of the project at CES this year featuring a Kinect style camera and projector.
Via RGBDVision:
“OASIS is a flexible software architecture that enables us to prototype applications that use depth cameras and underlying computer vision algorithms to recognize and track objects and gestures, combined with interactive projection. Here we show OASIS in an interactive Lego playing scenario.”

I am not sure of the limitation you face that make projecting from above important, but I would think that projecting from below onto a piece of frosted Lucite would be an alternative to having a dark room and over head projectors. Another benefit would be that the system would be transportable in addition to avoiding projecting onto your arms and hands.
