Holodesk: More Kinect Illusion From Microsoft Research

In actuality, really couple of modern conveniences can keep track their roots back to very old aliens; many mind-bending breakthroughs advance from brief corporate think-tanks similar to Microsoft Research. The lab that formerly employed a Kinect to emanate real-time 3D models has right away created an interactive, holographic 3D mood called Holodesk.

As is demonstrated in the (strangely silent) explanation of idea video above, Holodesk uses a Kinect, projector and lamp splitter to emanate interactive holograms. In a nutshell, the Kinect watches your hands and face, tracking their movements and raised 3D shapes onto a semi-transparent aspect on top of your hands, tricking the eye in to considering the shapes and your palm exist on the same plane. The interface is still sincerely rough, graphically speaking, but the technology itself is so solid, we're anticipating it'll finally lead to a Kinect continuation to Time Traveler .
