Can all TED talks be like this? Sweet, concise, and actually innovative.
I used to attend a high school in a very low- income area and of course; we couldn't afford the interactive smart boards which basically every other school had at least a few of. My math teacher who was so passionate about education and technology adopted this system of a budget interactive whiteboard to make her teaching more visual and enhancing and seeing this video, I feel so grateful for some reason. Great work Johnny! Your work really did enable less advantaged people to maintain the technological advancements that everyone else was achieving.
8 years later, no real head tracking compatibility games...
oclus rift? htc vive?
BenjerminGaye different kind of head tracking. That uses absolute position relative to the screen. The headsets use relative tracking based on compass position.
+Collegiate Match Fishing no oculus rift uses it tracking just like this
+Ben Laty *ir
Why the need for the headset display then? I mean this demo uses head tracking software and an IR camera with a pair of LEDs attached to some safety glasses to create a 3 dimensional effect on a 2d TV screen, why then, are developers opting to mount stereoscopic displays in chunky visors? Surely this eliminates the need for VR... more to the point we've had a generational leap in home consoles with another one due soon since this video and no-one's developed a game around this very simple set up.
Good o'l days of youtube... back when you couldn't get copyright infringement for a background coke bottle, and Google+.
I dont see no coke ?...
Haha it's gotten worse hasn't it?
Funny now the time this comment was posted is now considered “the good ol’days”
@@rynlikesfood And now we finally got rid of Google+ 😂
This hits harder now.
Johnny Lee deserved the standing ovation...
It's not just about his current experiments, but on how many people it can affect, and how accessible he made it for the general public.
Great stuff! Happy to see some game development companies are already considering doing something with the idea!
I made my own Wiimote Whiteboard and used it in one of my classes: It was amazing! Johnny Lee is a genius, and he certainly deserves an award for sharing his knowledge with everyone.
I bet Nintendo wasn't very happy about that.
I dunno, the 3DS employs a similar technology that can achieve similar results
*Nintendo proceeds to tax Lee here for every Wii Remote he uses to spread his technology
@@ethanrussell3163 No it doesn't
don't be nervous, man. you did great
this mans brilliant AND owns a wii. Checkmate, Sony?
This should be the best comment, lol
well sony's ps3's are being used as a supercomputer....
BenjerminGaye PFFT
@@BenjerminGaye lmao no they arent LUL
@@girlsdrinkfeck not anymore, but when it released yes. You could run another OS on it and daisy chain them to act as a server/supercomputer.
Now its 2014, where is it now? do people still know about this?
Nope, and I have no clue why no company is selling this, they could make a fortune.
Ultragian Awesome, thanks bro
He is also working with Google on a 3d tracking project called project Tango. Look it up, its cool
Ben Akinlosotu Yeah saw it, kind of scary tho since it could/will be used for visual datamining
Now its 2018, where is it now? do people still know about this?
I saw this when it came out, this is what opened me up to the TED talk world, wish they would do more like this!
the most remarkable thing about this guy is the fact he did not care about making any profit out of this idea. He developed the thing himself at his own costs and just gave it away to the public. No copyrights, no fucking patents. Truly free invention.
the rest of the world should learn to be more like Johnny Lee
that 3d looks amazing! I don't have fusion between my eyes and this looked fantastic for me! I think this is the first time I have seen 3d
This is damn amazing, but I'd really like if he took a deep breath sometimes...
Every time I come back to this video, I always smile at 3:55 because you can tell the camera guy is having fun.
You just owned some of the most brilliant inventers in the world. This is pure inovation for everyone! Thanks for thinking, Mr Lee! ;)
3:07 that awkward clap.. Lel
Yogsther lmao
That's an interesting kind of passive 3D.
The cameraman was having fun! xD
Man so much cool stuff happened in the 00s
looks like theres another way to see 3D withought glasses on youtube, Amazing!
This guy is a legend!
Some good old TED talk times...
One of the most incredible things I've ever seen. Such a simple things, but with massive applications. Genius.
Why is this guy not developing VR for Switch
man we need head tracking everywhere! XD haha I can imagine them remaking the game Punch-Out! from NES with head tracking and gloves XD.
Such a humble boy.
Makes me smile no matter how many times I see this.
So where is his website?
Perry Kitten johnnylee.net/
+Perry Kitten Darude sandstorm
+Okuna Sabakkuk
Hi just a big thank yoou for sharing the link
+Jean-Baptiste Lasselle That new search engine google put out rocks!
How to get cheap oculous rift glasses
A well-deserved standing ovation indeed.
TED Technology Entertainment and Design... this man fulfilled all three!
Nintendo finally patented this idea some days ago. Future here we come! :)
That's interesting, do you still have a source by any chance?
What ever happened to this stuff?
We all got scared and ran out of imagination.
Wow, I have seen that before but I have to say Johnny Lee is incredibly smart and really well spoken, which is nice to see in the research community.
you're a open source / innovation hero i remember watching your youtube videos a couple months ago.. wow now your here .. you rock dude!
He's using existing technology, none of the stuff he's showcasing requires you to be particularly smart.
But the very fact that he even thought of these projects, started them, and broadcasted them on the internet, and his approach to the entire thing, makes him one of the worlds little day-to-day heroes in my book. A genuine good guy with a healthy curiousity!
Thumbs up to Johnny Lee, in a materialistic world he decided to distribute his technology for free. The world needs more people like him to establish equality in economics and everything else.
I agree. That is an amazing tool Johnny Lee created!
Watching this in 2023 and still amazed. Unfortunately it the software hasn't been updated so I feel like I can't get it done.
Awesome!!!... What we'll see in the future whit guy like this... I think I'm going to cry.
a standing ovation! OF COURSE!
we need more people like him! MOAR!!! MOAR!!!!
Hey Johnny, thank you so much for this. My very small English school has been struggling to compete with the big rich companies, but I now have an interactive white board which may give me a chance to compete on a different level, all thanks to you. You are changing the world my friend. I can't express how grateful I am for your present to us.
i wanna hug this guy he is amazing and so bloody unasuming
This dude is set to be some kind of tech legend.
Explaining something that you're so passionate about dumps a huge amount of adrenaline into your system, especialy with this audiance.
A teacher at my college class gave this to the entire class... You rock!!!
This is what science should be doing. Making things more accessible to more people instead of corporations making things as expensive as profitably possible.
Absolutely genius work, and thanks for making a huge contribution to everyone!
This guy has a really, really, reeeeaaallly bright future. He's a genius.
That camera guy was really into that 3-D room. He wouldn't step away from it!!
This guy is a genius and really doing what we wish all game developers should do. great thinking man
Someone should hire this guy and pay him billions. He deserves every dollar.
that's sick. it's nice to see this guy doing it for free too. he's about the advancement of us TOGETHER not just himself.
I love how when he starts to use it, he has the audience captivated and amazed. I Love it. Its like the audience has no idea what he is talking about until he actually starts to show them a demonstration of what it does, then their like OOH!!! AHH!!!! He IS The GURU of this stuff!!!!
I swear to God if anyone steals his genius ideas and make a load of money i'm gonna cry. He's amazing!
We need more people like Johnny Lee, you inspire me....Thank you!!!
10 years, still amazing
the camera guy was having fun with that demo
I'm in 2020 and this is still impressive!
3 cheers and a standing ovation in a 5 minute presentation
Hell! indeed lol
I had seen the head tracking thing, but the "multi-touch interactive whiteboard" is just amazing...!! This guy is a genious! And you gotta give credit to Nintendo for making that kind of hardware available to anyone.
He's probably one of the "few" guys on this world who in my opinion genuinely try to improve the world...
if you watch his demo that he filmed at home, getting closer to the screen makes the objects appear closer, so it does have a complete track of 3D space.
what a genius. Thats a great achievement. Somebody should of gave him an award or trophy
If you shutter the left and right lenses of those glasses to match a rapidly alternating image on the screen, you can have true depth perception AND head tracking. And if you have pupil tracking cameras mounted on the glasses, you can even have eye tracking data that would feed into the computer giving high fidelity field of depth changing in real time with the natural focusing movements of the eyes.
Back in 2008 this kind of technology was ground breaking.
wow, this is so amazing how he transformed the IR wii technology to the same technology used in the new Xbox Kinect. I think Microsoft even hired him to help with the making of the Kinect.
This guy is a king of DIYs, damn that's impressive.
the intro lol awesome t-bag at 0:04
that end song had some good bass!
nice work.... and great to see he gave it to everyone for free,
Johnny Lee is the man! He's work (eventhough that kind of a digital tracking is already "an old thing" for the professionals, but he's making it stuffs for the masses!) is going to have a huge impact in the upcoming years. He's just that kind of a "nice-guy-from-your-neighbour", who just happens to kick MAJOR ASS with his work! Inspiring stuff.
the camera guys seems to be havin fun, jumpin around! IM SO GLAD I GOT A WII!
Yes! He's research is getting the attention it deserves! I'm glad youtube helped him get there. As soon as EA announces specifically what game this is being applied to, I'm getting it.
wow the song for the BMW commercial is SO catchy
I second your appreciation. I too, do not have stereoscopic vision, and was equally amazed at that 3D effect.
151 thumb downs were clearly from Nintendo, who did not make millions from his genius!
Even the camera guy was excited
This guy is absolutely brilliant!
And it works like a charm in my classroom! Money saved and knowledge gained.
this is how Johnny Lee changed the world, kids will be doing book reorts on this dude
John Lee, changing the world one Wii at a time
We need more people like this guy.
wow, i remember watching his vids a while ago. glad his talents have been recognised now
My jaw dropped twice during his presentation. I mean, god my ideas are weak sauce compared to this guy.
THIS WAS AMAZING, my gosh I didn't know a Wii had that much potential.
If anyone wondering where is he now he has a youtube channel and a science blog where he shares lots of stuff :)
I'm sure Johnny must have felt good to see the entire audience instantaneously stand to give him a ovation. Bravo! and post more videos will your Johnny?
I could just watch this forever!!!!
THAT WAS SICK
he is talented
This guy is awesome. I hope he continues to give us low cost solutions to tech problems. I know he is working for Mr. Softy, hope he doesn't sell out.
I never thought I would have an interactive white board for 5 dollars in additional cost. This is amazing :D
Nintendo missed a trick not hiring this guy!
Thanks Johnny Lee for sharing your genius creativity :)
Pure genius, right there.
okay retaining more to the video now... the head gear looks sweet if you were doing a shooting game like the ones in the arcade that allow you to move your body inorder to dodge bullets. that is just awesome to think about. bringing the arcade experience home.
I've been watching TED talks for years, how did I never see this one?
Jesus that 3d vision was amazing good.
I love these hacks it's very useful and he tries to make it accessible to everyone.
The headtracking blows my mind.
lol at the camera man when he jumps up and down
@mooohacando I dont about you but this guy seems to be confidently giving a speech to a large number of people. He definitely has some confidence.
