CES Video: HP Labs' Proof-of-Concept Projected Display

Walking the show floor today, I noticed that Hewlett-Packard's big booth presence included a dimly lit tent for the company's recent acquisition: boutique PC maker, VoodooPC.

Curious, I peeked inside and found VoodooPC desktops powering interesting proof-of-concept displays developed by HP Labs. The displays are actually curved widescreen surfaces powered simultaneously by two projectors. HP Labs' "Panoply" technology and the graphics processor of the Voodoo PCs stitch the two projections into a seamless image, stretching and compressing pixels to remove distortion.

In the video below, I speak to Dan Gelb, a Senior Research Scientist at HP Labs who explains that the demonstration is far from a productized device at this stage.
