Pencil balancer in 2D, using very fast silicon retina cameras (opens in new tab)

Pretty awesome thing! Also, it's nice to see a link on the HN frontpage to a project of a Swiss university (or two, since the INI is part of the ETHZ and UZH :)

Is that page seriously embedding windows media videos ... in 2010? (yes i saw the youtube link)

Don't miss the silicon retina cameras by Tobi Delbruck, used for the pencil balancer:
