    I'll try post the poster if I can get it from my teacher, in fact I think I have the picture somewhere...

    The comp was mainly judged on ideas and content, it wasnt too bad for 2 50min lessons of work.

    Yea, its a 3cm x 3cm cude that can project any size screen into the air, controlled via thought or motion, also with the option for the classic projection keyboard.
