Cube World
Cube World is a new cubicle toy that consists of a number of small cubes with LCD screens on them, each showing a little person inhabiting the cube, living its own little life. The real magic happens when you attach the cubes together; the little people interact with each other spatially, walk from cube to cube, and do other interesting things. It's like a Tamagotchi for the social networking age.

Low-Cost Multi-point Interactive Whiteboards Using the Wiimote
Since the Wiimote can track sources of infrared (IR) light, you can track pens that have an IR led in the tip. By pointing a wiimote at a projection screen or LCD display, you can create very low-cost interactive whiteboards or tablet displays. Since the Wiimote can track upto 4 points, multiple pens can be used.
Tangible Spacetime
The Khronos Projector is probably my favourite project out there. Check out a movie or two on that page. (This is basically unrelated to mini-projectors.)
