Microsoft Research shows KinectFusion – it’s jaw dropping

Those are Engadget's words, not mine as this Microsoft Research project was shown at SIGGRAPH this week.

KinectFusion takes live depth data from a moving Kinect sensor and in real-time creates high-quality 3D models. The possibilities are huge – you can scan a whole room and its contents within seconds and as you move around, and objects are revealed they are fused into a single 3D model. My mind is immediately thinking of applications in architecture, gaming and augmented reality.

I've seen so many neat uses for Kinect. I just hope some find there way into gameplay for 360

That is some serious high resolution reconstruction. The texture mapping makes the entire thing look fantastic.

Adding virtual objects to the scene and then add physics to it! Interact with it too.

Color me impressed!

This is awesome, combine this with that unlimited polygon tech and you have real life graphics within a generation (plus lighting ,etc.)

ArmrdChaos5398d ago (Edited 5398d ago )

Well...just by seeing how this tech is running it wouldn't be too much of a stretch for a game to prompt the player to turn on cue for eight 45 degree turns to create a 3d model to put you in the game...even wearing proper gear.

Seen it before, show me something that is really jaw dropping or stop wasting my time.

Neko_Mega5398d ago

Link to what? You might want to say what you want and not just write "link please".

This is old news, if it even counts as news.

gamingdroid5398d ago (Edited 5398d ago )

FragMnTagM is asking if you got a link to show what you have "seen it before"....

FragMnTagM5397d ago

I have been following this tech for a while and this is news to me, so I was just asking if you had a link to prove that you have seen this a long time ago since it is "old news".

By the way it is friggin awesome. With a higher res camera, this could be really really neat.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
