this is just the beginning, but it's already mindblowing. imagine what will be possible in 10 years.

wow very neat

indeed very cool ineed

Hollow-face illusion, 1:14.

very cool but i'm not living in the future until cars are flying.

isn't that what avatar did?

Pretty damn neat.

I was thinking about this kind of thing recently and how you could navigate a football match in realtime, just sort of flying around the play like a videogame. You'd just need to strategically place a few of these at various locations around the pitch.

its not the future until i see crabs sold in vending machines.

Funny that you mentioned that as I just watched this clip of something similar and other tech stuff Japan would be offering if they won their bid for the World Cup in 2022.

the telemundo version of this during world cup coverage was so hilariously low tech... trying to find video of it now...

I can't believe they have this cool tech for the xbox and all they could come up with was that lame ass shit.

Edit: the lame ass shit being the wii knock off games for the kinect launch, not the posted video.

uber cool

yeah that posted video would make those kinects fly off the shelf for christmas :P

I'm considering it.

i was all like ...mmmm... ok.... WOAH!!

actually Photoshop can do this but it would take forever to animate

the amount of work some men go through to look at their bald spot

yeah, there's a moment where your brain falls out of your head as you realize what just happened..

Surely he would be able to solve the camera's "blind spot" with two kinects?

Yeah, I thought that. But hasn't the Kinect already got two eyes? Is that how it perceives depth, or is that only due to the dot-distances?

I dunno but I inferred from the video that he had the kinect positioned so it could only see one side of his body?

chen is all i need

If I understood correctly it reads infrared dots that it projects, through an infrared camera to create the 3D data. I don't think it would work if there were two infrared projectors casting dots in the same area. I could be wrong.
