Johnny Chung Lee

I've been following this guy for a while now, but as my blog is gaining some followers, I figured it was necessary to share for thoose that have not seen it yet.

The first video shows how finger tracking is possible with the Nintendo Wii remote. Manipulation of objects in 3d space is becoming a reality. Despite the amazing games that could be created with this technology, the education field could benefit extremely from this kind of technology. Imagine students interacting with objects on a screen or TV just by moving their fingers.



Besides Microsoft Outlook, the most common professional development training I deliver is on Interactive Whiteboards(IWB). Many schools are begining to implement 1:1 IWBs in their districts. hundreds of teachers now have a huge IWB in their class taking up space on their traditional chalkboard. Teachers need to be trained on how to use this new piece of technology. Districts are spending thousands of dollars on boards and projectors. Johnny Chung Lee has a solution.



Lastly, this video shows the power of interactive foldable displays. Because Johnny's IWB solution does not need a board and can be projected on any surface foldable displays offer a solution for the inexpensive and interactive classroom.



What are your thoughts?
