MORE MIND-BLOWING REAL-WORLD KINECT INTERACTION FROM MICROSOFT RESEARCH 
Author: Devin Coldewey 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have you had your share of augmented reality this month? Between CMU's OmniTouch, Microsoft's HoloDesk, and Metaio's updated AR app, you could be forgiven. But trust me, you'll want to watch this video of Microsoft Research prototypes using pico projectors and Kinect cameras.

The ability to quickly build and track a 3D model of the environment (as we and Bill Gates both found amazing) is combined with the ability to display synthetic information onto the real environment. The result? The digital simulation of the world is overlaid on the world, in real time, and it's utterly insane.
