The LuminAR robotic desk lamp looks a lot like the beloved Pixar lamp, but has some pretty amazing robotics. This desk lamp of the future can do some wondrous things.
An MIT student named Nathan Linder created this incredible desk accessory. The LuminAR robotic desk lamp changes its actions according to what it sees through its web-cam. It also features a projector which can display text, images and videos. Linder's goal is to "transform surfaces and objects into interactive spaces that blend digital media and information with the physical space."
