14 DAY TRIAL // I've seen my share of odd inventions, many of which only came about due to man's wish to amuse himself, and I dare say that this is definitely the case for the projection system invented by Hiroaki Yamaguchi and Hideki Koike.
Essentially, they've created a projection system composed of six cameras with a frame rate of 250 FPS.
The cameras calculate the position, in three dimensions, for three balls.
So, if you get a trio of rubber balls, hand-sized, and start to juggle them, a projector will pain astronomical renderings of planets on them.
All in order to make you feel like you're tossing planets or stars around. Being cosmically powerful is a thing of comic books, but now you can live the life of Marvel's Beyonder, or Eternity.
Okay, the sensation won't be nearly as mind-blowing as the description makes it sound like. After all, you, the juggler, won't actually see the planets in your hands, only the balls. Well, unless you turn your back on the projection system and toss them really high up.
Needless to say, you don't need to restrict yourself to planets. You can choose to project smiley faces, troll faces, cucumbers, whatever you feel like. In theory, on-ball ads during football games should be possible, though it's doubtful that even the NFL or Soccer leagues will put so much effort into something that will only be visible on TV close-ups. After all, there's no shortage of normal TV ads.
