Steve Mann, showing 3 inventions: MindMesh (mesh-based wearable computing for Brain-Computer-Interaction), "GlassEye" (EyeTap), and HDR (combining multiple differently exposed images to extend dynamic range). Taken with a single bare 100 watt light bulb as the only source of illumination, in an old light fixture I found in the garbage, while standing in front of an old whiteboard that I also found in the garbage. The shutter was activated by a foot switch (microswitch salvaged from a discarded machine) under my right foot, connected to the camera shutter-release input, auto-bracketing to capture the entire Wyckoff Set, by stepping down and holding the microswitch closed.
