Siggraph 2005

I attended the Siggraph conference today and was particularly interested in the emerging technologies room. One of my favorites was a map projection that you could load any section of onto a tablet PC just by setting the tablet against the map. The section would then transfer onto the tablet, and could be zoomed in on or otherwise manipulated in any fashion that would work on a regular PC. In addition, you could draw on the tablet, and the resulting lines would then appear on the wall map. Very cool.
