Ernie Booth and Laurence Moroney visited Celso Gomes, the ‘God’ of “WPF/E” demos who demonstrated how he was able to write some very cool stuff in “WPF/E” including the page turning sample and some 2.5 D graphics. These graphics were so convincing in their depth that they fooled the autofocus on our camera!

I guess I wasn't interested enough, because I could not concentrate on anything else but the focus. Stopped it after just a few minutes - driving me absolutely crazy !

I even looked up how auto-focus works to see wether there was any validity to your claims about the images fooling the camera.

There's basically two types, and when the target is a Flat-panel LCD... the camera needs servicing and/or you need to learn how to use the manual focus.

Sorry.

This stuff looks really awesome. You guys should post the source code for the WPF/E examples shown in the video. I would love to see how you guys basically created a 3D engine in WPF/E.
