There are some smart people out there, and this guy is one of them.
This is the kind of thing that I imagine people like Jamie and Adam already know about; but consider my mind blown. I get the idea of what's going on here— I couldn't engineer the device or program the computer to do it, but the ideas are very straightforward, especially as Mr. Lee explains it. Still, the second he demoed the "Camera-Eye View" of the effect, I started screaming and calling out for someone else to come and see it.
This won't be practical for general programming, like movies or TV—the single user experience discounts groups watching the same screen together. But as far as gaming is concerned... awesome.
I agree with Johnny; someone, somewhere, please make some games that utilize this!

This guy's great... I'm fairly certain he's the same one who made a Wii multitouch device a few months ago (I'll get the link from Belinda).
Very exciting stuff... what's interesting about it is that it doesn't seem to actually using the Wii, only the Wiimote. Unless I misunderstand, it's a PC program... which simultaneously expands and limits its potential.
I love that people like Johnny are out there, making such wonderful toys and begging designers to create content for them! Give me a year or two, Mr. Chung... I'm on my way!
