Help me Obi-Wan Kinecti!

DateTue, November 16, 2010 at 2:50 PM

We love to find novel uses for cutting edge tech and the open source community has been busy taking apart Microsofts awesome new sensor for the Xbox, The Kinect.

In the video below you'll see how okreylos managed to grab the camera depth and color information in order to create realtime 3D reconstructions directly from the Kinect. Many potential uses of this might include scanning yourself for inclusion into a game or networking a number of Kinects to create a 3D holographic image from multiple angles. Fun stuff and reminiscent of the Photosynth project we worked on previously at Live Labs.

This was fascinating to watch. I was talking to an engineer yesterday who mentioned some of the hacks that was taking place regarding the kinect. It will be nice to see some of this hacks becoming a reality in 2011.
