Public Art Resources

public art resources
From the site:
When artists have the resources, society prospers. Intellectual engagement, civic responsibility, and a better quality of life are the result of a conscientious involvement with the creative community.
It is the aim of Public Art Resources (PAR) to make available to towns and artists what is needed for the enhancement of those communities while encouraging the flourishing of creative activity.

IO2 Technology :† Heliodisplay- Interactive Free-Space Display

From the site:
The Heliodisplay projects full color streaming video into free space (i.e. air). It is plug-and-play compatible with most video sources (TV, DVD, computer, etc.). These non-holographic images can be fully interactive, allowing a hand or finger to select, navigate and manipulate — as if it were a virtual touch screen.

How does it work…?
