Here is what the projector was projecting... I'll post video later.<br /><br />I also tried using the Zoom H4n stereo recorder to try audio inputs instead of ultrasonic sensors, it kinda worked, but I didn't want to have music playing during the AVC, so maybe I'll bring that back into it later. <br /></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[A gift for CP+B]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.projectallusion.com/1/post/2010/04/a-gift-for-cpb.html]]></link><comments><![CDATA[http://www.projectallusion.com/1/post/2010/04/a-gift-for-cpb.html#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Thu, 01 Apr 2010 00:00:00 -0800</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.projectallusion.com/1/post/2010/04/a-gift-for-cpb.html</guid><description><![CDATA[Decided to make a little gift for Crispin Porter and Bogusky.
