So i figured project natal was part of a bigger plan. Though they dont say it in the article ( i dont think), this is obviously a leap from the project natal (now known as Kinect) stuff.

basically something tracks your eyeballs from across the room and displays the image shifted. not sure about the details, but something like this would be the killer of all current 3d crappy-glasses-tech i think. even does 2 people currently.

Very cool. Reminds me of the effect at the Haunted Mansion in California - the statues seemed to turn and watch you as you moved by them. The trick was to make them concave rather than convex, but fool you into *thinking* they were convex. Brilliant.

Seems to me that if they could create some transparent medium that would allow light to be visible as it moved across it (like a laser in smoke) then two cameras would simply need to intersect images and you could create a nifty true 3d that was not bound to the viewer angle. Football games recorded from multiple angles and projected from the same could be true 360 viewing.

Sounds like the banking industry Wink

This tech is totally cool.  All we need to do, though probably not a small feat, is project a movie that has 2-threads per seat in any audience, one for each eyeball.  I imagine ticket prices would experience a "minor" hike though.

I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.

Way back when, the where primitive arcade games that worked with holograms, they for the most part where a failure with users.
Such technology would be very useful for simulation, modeling etc, maps etc.
I would love something like that. I used to love games like railroad tycoon, civilization etc.
The problem is that you would get the "real image" which IMHO most people do not want.

The director of a movie, or even new computer games is an artist. He changes the POV.
That is what tells the story.
Such tech would be useful for a director. He could put the entire scene into the box. Then position his cameras in the "cube" and then see the POV.

Either way the tech is very cool, and I see lots of use for it with games and the adult industry Smiley
