TechFest 2011: 3D Photo-Realistic Talking Head

This research demonstrates the use of 3-D projection, combined with a Kinect depth camera to capture and display 3-D objects. Any physical object brought into the demo can be instantaneously digitized and viewed in 3-D. For example, we show a simple modeling application in which complex 3-D models can be constructed with just a few wooden blocks by digitizing and adding one block at the time. This setup also can be used in telepresence scenarios, in which what is real on your collaborator’s table is virtual—3-D projected—on yours, and vice versa. This shows how simulating real-world physics behaviors can be used to manipulate virtual 3-D objects. The research uses a 3-D projector with active shutter glasses.
3D's going to be obsolete in 15-16 years. Think about 4D (and I'm serious!). The fourth dimension must come out within next 12 years.
that doll is not ELMO, just sayin
Did I say Elmo??? haha, shoot! It's ERNIE!!!
Awesome!
really cool but they should really look into capturing multiple frames of 3d data. you could rotate the model around so that the camera sees it from all angles and build a complete model
that would require some feature tracking ofcourse, but if anyone can do it, its msr
