(Yeah, get ready for Microsoft Windows-based windows.)
LUMO PROJECTOR COST WINDOWS
Luckily for all of us, Lumo represents the most rudimentary application of an idea that is on the verge of going mainstream: The use of existing surfaces - floors, walls, ceilings, tables and even windows - as interactive computer displays. And if need is too strong a word, then we'll certainly want our imaginations enhanced.
But I do think adults need their imaginations enhanced. Personally, I don't think children need their imaginations enhanced by microprocessor-based technology - they'll turn the floor into lava with or without computer assistance. The projector will cost $549 when it ships in December, if all goes according to plan. Lumo is raising money on the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo. The projector runs on Android, and the company will offer an SDK so developers can create games and apps for the system.
Custom game designs can be tailored to a child's age. The Lumo system will ship with 100 games. Kids can also treat the floor or wall like a giant iPad, drawing pictures and then interacting with them. And the animations respond to kids' hands and feet. Kids can play Lumo games, such as air hockey, or experience virtual environments, such as flowing lava. The Lumo interactive projector turns walls and floors into interactive play spaces for children. But after all these years of "computerization," something wonderful is about to happen: Our interface to the world of computers will leap off of the screen and onto the walls, floors, ceilings, tabletops, windows and other surfaces in our homes and offices, and in public spaces.
