That's not really what this is at all though. This is for the content itself. As you mentioned reconstructing a room using cameras is a done deal, and generally involves 2 or more angles from 2 or more cameras to reconstruct depth from that data, a dedicated depth sensing camera/sensor or a temporal solution to achieve multiple angles from the one camera. All that is to capture 3D data from a 3D world. But this patent is to throw 2D content with no depth data at a neural network and presumably getting guessed/calculated depth from it. My guess is this will be hokey at best, or, more realistic than that, just a patent troll to cash in on anyone else that figures out how to make this work.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Let me be clear. This is sarcasm

They would be better breaking up what valued assets they still have and put them out to auction for the competition.
There is no more financial gain for them on any trajectory in the entertainment space.
