Benjamin Fritsch from VIOSO filled me in on their Smartprojecting product that makes it possible to adapt any projection and show it on any surface.  The Smartprojecting system consists of a camera, a computer and a projector and the correction of the content is done right before it is projected.  The geometric and color distortions as they would appear with normal projection can be dramatically reduced and the correction works pixel accurate.

Andreas Wiratanaya from CanControls showed me their facial recognition wheelchair with a video-based facial expression controller.  CanControls specializes in digital image processing for advanced man-machine interaction.  The wheelchair software analyzes the facial expressions and gestures of the driver and can be controlled by actions such as blinking, tilting of the head or opening of the mouth.

Internet Explorer 8 Beta had its premiere on Wednesday in Las Vegas at the MIX.  Yesterday in Hannover, Germany IE8 made its debut in Europe at the CeBIT.  Shola Aluko, Microsoft Senior Product Manager Internet Explorer, was on hand to do a session on Internet Explorer 8 Beta for Developers.  Before his session, I had the chance to talk to him about what is new in the Internet Explorer 8 Beta and get a short demo.  While you can’t see many details on his laptop monitor, hopefully his description is enough to whet your appetite to download the IE8 Beta, give it a try and let the IE team know what you think.  Localized versions for German, Hebrew and simplified Chinese will be available in the next month.
