Goals
Redefine presentations
Ease of transition between slides
Display more information
Minimize computer interactions
Present anywhere on any surface

Kinect demonstration
Its time for!!! DEMO TIMEEE!!!
Be Amazed at this Demo!
Now say, oohhhh ahhh.

Design Specifications –Laser System
Four major components: Galvo, DAC, Laser Pointer, Power Supply
Laser - create each pixel of the projection
Galvanometer - reflect the laser on x & y axis
Digital to Analog Converter - communication between the computer and galvo
Power Supply – The power supply will power the laser and galvanometer
9SDP 12
Design Specifications – Software
Interface between computer and Kinect
Implement Kinect SDK Motion capture and gesture recognition
Primary coding language: C++
