Sanjuro

I got a nice present: a little Sanjûrô Tsubaki.

Research Photos

Me wearing a Microvision Nomad.

A board full of input devices (e.g. bend sensors attached to playing cards) and a tracked wand as input devices. The displays show 3d objects to be controlled.
Testing virtual mirrors.
AR visualizations of data flow.

MC Solaar

Sunday noon - I gotta work today - argh. What keeps me alive is MC Solaar. His lyrics are full of feeling. Something that most American rappers still have to learn! Currently my favourite song of his is Quand le soleil devient froid.

CNN

There was a report about our lab on CNN!
Check out the movie (17MB, but bad quality :-).

Columbia University is currently celebrating its 250th birthday,
which is very nice since we had free lunch recently (pictures). Some interesting facts about Columbia University are here. Unfortunately I could not stay long at the barbeque, as I had to work on my upcoming demo. I had to learn some lessons about lightning on mirrored 3d models. A screenshot when I was debugging strange errors. Can you find them? (Ok, in the bottom 2 scenes it is very easy almost everything is wrong)
You can find a blog of a friend I visited at CMU here. He did some funny stuff recently: abstract clock and flying seagull.
