Anyone who uses chainsaws knows that the blades typically lubricate themselves with oil. So yeah, those guys probably had motor oil all over their "food" when they were done there.

Not really an optical illusion, "per se". This appears to be more of a technological example of using a special filter over a certain kind of print-out (where each frame of the animation is split into different thin vertical pieces, and revealed one by one when the filter is passed over it).

How the heck does anyone know this is actually a "product testing" and not just some idiots screwing around?

This guy definitely has a lot of vision and cool ideas, but unfortunately, they're just that (at least for now). It's not practical to use a projector and a camera (all the different lighting and contrast problems, your hands block the light beams, tracking issues, etc...). You are effectively limited to the very narrow space directly in front of you, and even then, the situation has to be ideal. Not only that, but almost every example has to be custom coded for the interface. For example, the weather overlay on the map (that was totally staged, in case you didn't realize). Weather map graphics in newspapers vary wildly, so for that specific example to work, they had to literally custom-code the application *just* for that one newspaper graphic. Sure, it looks awesome and all, but what happens when you try it with a different newspaper? Or what happens when you are looking at an atlas in your car? Does the program try to overlay weather on top of the highway map? To summarize: These ideas are great and innovative and point towards the future, but they are just staged dreams right now. For this to really take off, they will need either direct-visual brain implants or wireless full-color contact lens displays (with wireless video links to an internet-enabled pocket computer similar to the iPhone). Just saying.

Either the whole thing was staged, or they all deserved what they got. Pathetic. Just pathetic. I do feel sorry for the 9 year old kid though...
