SecondLight: A Magic Lens That Goes Beyond the Surface

If you have seen Surface and thought that was a blast? You have to see this! Incredible cool technology!

The brainchild of Microsoft Researchers, SecondLight is a rear projection-vision surface technology that extends and enriches Microsoft Surface through the ability to project images both through and beyond the surface display, to a translucent piece of plastic for instance. With SecondLight, the translucent piece of plastic can also function as a “magic lens” that when passed over an image displayed on the primary surface – a car, for instance - provides a view of the “inner workings” behind the image. In another application of this so-called “layering effect”, the transparency could register images of constellations when passed over a surface displaying the night sky. The technology also permits gesture-based interactions with the surface from farther away than back projected systems allow.

If the mediaplayer file does not start automatically, just click right mouse button "Save as..." and start it from your PC or laptop.
