This is a local wireless data transmission platform that works via
camera and screen. Great for blind people, this local network uses
all of that otherwise unused computational power that is normally
dedicated to visuality.
Say a blind student is trying to interactively choose between high
quality
recordings stored on a server at the front of a classroom.
Rather that wait for each to download over wifi or Bluetooth, get an
HD DVD's worth of data every micro second by displaying it on a
screen at one end of the classroom and detecting it with a camera at
the other.
There's probably something I don't understand about computers and
networking here but it was fun in the time before it will have been
torn apart by people who know more about computers than I do.

(+) I thought that this was going to be an E-cigarette distance communication device. |
|

And here I thought this would be about two computer
viruses infecting two computers, such that each user of the
computer can cause smoke to come out of the other
computer. For while, anyway, until both computers die
from loss of smoke. |
|
| |
(Trivia question: Don't you know electronic stuff runs on
smoke? After all, when the smoke gets out, the stuff stops
working!) |
|
| |
...and mirrors, the mirrors are important. |
|
| |
I thought this would be about smoke signal recognition
software, in coordination with tam tam sounds. |
|
| |
Interestingly I was not able to find any video of actual smoke
signals, except just making a lot of smoke. |

//an HD DVD's worth of data every micro second// how exactly is this amount of data encoded and decoded by a normal-resolution screen and camera running at normal refresh rates? |
|

I read the other month that smoke signals didn't
communicate information themselves, but were just a
signal that someone wanted to communicate telepathically
(apparently). |
