What is ABBA World? It is an exhibit in the UK, an audio-guided tour through 25 rooms which will provide a "mind-blowing journey through the music, memories, and magic of ABBA!" (I came across this info on Strombergs' blog.)
The exhibit will include an interactive experience where people can get on stage with 3D holographic versions of the members of ABBA. You can see the cartoony-ABBA's on the SquareZero website. Square zero is the content provider of the the 3D experience. Musion Systems, the creator of the Musion Eyeliner high definition holographic video projection system, was another partner in this project.
Details about the holographic system can be found on the ABBAWorld website, along with the history of ABBA.

Open Source eViacam head mouse lets you control your computer with your head, or your finger in the air
Also posted on the TechPsych blog
I just downloaded and tried eViacam, an open-source head mouse software, and found it to work accurately and smoothly. I used the software on my HP TouchSmart PC, which has an embedded video camera. eViacam also works with USB webcams. You can download eViacam from Sourceforge. It is released under the GNU/GPL license.
Although this software is very useful for people with disabilities such as cerebral palsy and ALS, it looks like it could be useful for anyone. For example, the software can track your finger as you move it in the air, and it comes with an on-screen keyboard that you can turn on or off.
By the way, one of the videos I watched on YouTube was of someone playing a game with this system. I'd like to know what games it could support!

eViacam's future most likely will depend on donations, as this software was developed to enhance the lives of people with disabilities. You can donate to eViacam using PayPal.
