Disney Research have developed a new and innovative concept called SideBySide which provides a method for gamers to be able to interact with each other using projected characters. The SideBySide system projects images onto a surface which then become aware and responsive to other nearby projections.
Currently the system allows for interaction within games and also to allow enables applications to exchange data via a “dragging and dropping” method from one person’s projected image to another. Watch the video after the jump to see the new SideBySide Interactive Projectors in action.
