The weird virtual reality of Google's Project Tango

Yeah!! I remember setting up the wii remote head tracking and smartboard and playing around with them, amazing what he could do with a couple IR LEDs and the wii webcam. It's a shame he no longer publishes DIY home projects, but I suppose he's got bigger things to work on.

This guy is awesome. Look what he did with a wii remote back in 2008. Nintendo did NOTHING with it. AR on your tv in 2008? I was really looking forward to playing some first person shooters with that mod on a wii...

How are different languages constructed?

Agreed. I'd love it if he compared the same sentences in Chinese, Turkish, and Algonquin, or even just gave a couple examples of polysynthetic phrases. Wikipedia has some great examples here though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polysynthetic_language e.g.

From Classical Ainu of Japan, polysynthetic, incorporating, and agglutinating language.
