This message is just for outing something i’ve in mind from many time.Yesterday microsoft announce at E3 a new technology called project natal. And this is the e3 conference.
And another interesting demo.
This technology allows to capture 3d movements of a full body in real time, without any marker or other strange stuffs. I saw that technology 2 year ago, it’s name was zcam, made by an israelian company using the principle of “time of flight”.
Well, i hope the 3dcamera of microsoft will be released soon, and i hope that it is “compatible” with a pc, or at least is hackable, so we can use it with vvvv. In the meantime it should be fantastic to do the same with two cameras using the stereovision. here is an interesting library written in c# used for robotic vision. i tried to compile some code for using it in vvvv, but my competence in devvvvelopping is very low.
ok, i finished my outing, and hope that someone, like me, find interesting and exciting the idea of zsensing in vvvv ;)
yo screamer, i guess there are a few ppl out there, waiting for this shiny new camera being available. i even tried to get in contact with 3DV just before they being assimilated by microsoft.
once the cam is available i will definetely get my little team together and “hack” this thing…as long as there is some sort of SDK available.
