Mac - A hidden stack!

When Money attacks... a Mac.




"This shows you how to add a hidden stack that is built-in the OS. It is done in the Terminal."

Happy new year!

Poor Man's Steadycam Example Usage - Two Cams

Oh my gosh! This is amazing!!!

"Example footage of using the poorman's steadycam - walk through at a radio station. Top cam is Poor Man's Steadycam. Bottom is an observer using a tripod which isn't nearly as good and clacks when the legs hit each other."

Foldable Displays (tracked with the Wiimote)

Wow! This is super freaky!!!

This one combines motion, video, and touch technologies.


"Using infrared tracking and projection, we can simulate displays on flexible and foldable surfaces. This allows us to fit a large interactive display into our pockets.
The tracking is accomplished using the Wii Remote and IR LEDs

When Money Attacks... Surface video!!!

Head Tracking for Desktop VR Displays using the WiiRemote

When Money Attacks... Nintendo's Wiimote


This is freaky fantastic! This is the future of all videogames!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We already thought Johnny was amazing, but he just did something so incredible, that he just redefined the videogame industry!!!

"Using the infrared camera in the Wii remote and a head mounted sensor bar (two IR LEDs), you can accurately track the location of your head and render view dependent images on the screen. This effectively transforms your display into a portal to a virtual environment. The display properly reacts to head and body movement as if it were a real window creating a realistic illusion of depth and space. By Johnny Chung Lee, Carnegie Mellon University."



The videogame industry just changed dramatically on 12.21.07 (with over 890,000 views on this video already)…

He also did research in kinetic typography, lots more steady-cam work, a giant slingshot, a haptic pen, moveable displays, and automatic projector calibration (the last two projects listed here paved the way for his more recent projects). Check all his videos out here:
