AR: Adobe & MIT team up on body tracking to power presentations

Fun, funky idea:

Researchers from MIT Media Lab and Adobe Research recently introduced a real-time interactive augmented video system that enables presenters to use their bodies as storytelling tools by linking gestures to illustrative virtual graphic elements. […]

The speaker, positioned in front of an augmented reality mirror monitor, uses gestures to produce and manipulate the pre-programmed graphical elements.

Will presenters go for it? Will students find it valuable? I have no idea—but props to anyone willing to push some boundaries.
