   * Omar: finish render-to-texture and make folk2 pull request
   * Maybe start working on dual-camera and self-calibration/refinement tech?
+    * Omar: I'm bothered by the baseline-mediocre state of calibration and think we need some new approaches to keep the system calibrated over time -- maybe self-calibration by periodically projecting a tag somewhere on the table; maybe a lightweight form of calibration that just adjusts extrinsics and is easy; maybe an iterative calibration that continuously adjusts (as opposed to the 10-pose batch status quo) so you can really tune the fringes of the projector-camera volume
   * Andrés: finish video playback
   * Andrés: get dot detector demo working in 3D coordiantes
