Linder describes LuminAR as an augmented-reality system because the images and interfaces it projects can alter the function of a surface or object. While LuminAR might seem like a far-fetched concept, many large technology companies are experimenting with new kinds of computer interfaces in hopes of discovering new markets for their products (see \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.technologyreview.com\/news\/507681\/google-game-could-be-augmented-realitys-first-killer-app\/\">Google Game Could Be Augmented Reality\u2019s First Killer App<\/a>\u201d and \u201d<a href=\"http:\/\/www.technologyreview.com\/news\/507161\/a-new-chip-to-bring-3-d-gesture-control-to-smartphones\/\">A New Chip to Bring 3-D Gesture Control to Smartphones<\/a>\u201d).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technologyreview.com\/news\/507836\/augmented-light-bulb-turns-a-desk-into-a-touch-screen\/\">A Light Bulb with a Computer and Projector Inside from the MIT Media Lab Augments Reality | MIT Technology Review<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The LuminAR device, created by Linder and colleagues at the Media Lab, can project interactive images onto a surface, sensing when a person\u2019s finger or hand points to an element within those images.
