    great!
    i was hoping to make something similar, so really excited about this.
    My desire was to be able to draw across all the screens at once from a mobile device, using structured light generated in a web browser and a dedicated iPhone/other app.
    This looks really well developed and with a great team pushing the possibilities. Congratulations!

    I've always imagined something like this!!!

    Time over time I wondered how to merge multiple projectors into one screen but I realized pretty quickly that it wasn't all too hard and using Windows 7 or Mac OS X you can do it quite easily...

    But to have this in a Mobile App though? Amazing!
    Maybe NFC could open up crazy things like 1:1 Virtual Reality tracking close to an object to see things that wouldn't be there without using ugly QR codes!

    thank you. My own personal junkyard thanks you for finally justifying itself. Now if I could only get this to work with those 15 overhead projectors in the garage...
