5 Desktop Operating Systems

clipped from itbusinessedge.newsvine.com 5 of the best desktop operating systems you never used Blogger John Sheesley discusses five lesser-used operating systems that provide nice alternatives to Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. Sheesley says OS/2, NeXT, BeOS, DESQview and GEOS are overlooked, underrated and have been crushed by the big guys. clipped from blogs.techrepublic.com.com OS/2 NeXT BeOS DESQview GEOS / GeoWorks So there you have 5 of the best operating systems you probably never used. Each introduced innovations that we still use today, as well as some we’re still trying to catch up with even though the programs debuted in the 20th century. In each case, they were overlooked, underrated, and ultimately crushed by the Microsoft steamroller.

Head Tracking VR with the WiiRemote (video)

clipped from www.youtube.com Head Tracking for Desktop VR Displays using the WiiRemote Using the infrared camera in the Wii remote and a head mounted sensor bar (two IR LEDs), you can accurately track the location of your head and render view dependent images on the screen. This effectively transforms your display into a portal to a virtual environment. The display properly reacts to head and body movement as if it were a real window creating a realistic illusion of depth and space. By Johnny Chung Lee, Carnegie Mellon University.
