I'm honestly astounded that this works. The color camera on the Hololens is 1280x720, making it useless for most tasks. I love this device so much, but man, such a misstep.
Super neat prototype though.
- ethanbond 10y agoWhat "most tasks" are you referring to? Just curious since the applications of Hololens don't seem very solidified to begin with.
- daeken 10y agoWell, "most tasks" here is really just the things I've wanted to do -- not exactly an unbiased sample. Things like tracking objects, reading QR codes, matching more complicated hand gestures (than the built-in ones). Unfortunately, a lot of the really interesting things that could be done involve the high-res IR cameras, which aren't exposed in any way to userspace.
- nl 10y agoObject tracking[1] and QR code reading are definitely possible at that resolution. For QR codes it's going to depend on the distance from it though. [1] http://introlab.github.io/find-object/ http://introlab.github.io/find-object/
- nl 10y agoThe color camera on the Hololens is 1280x720, making it useless for most tasks This seems.. somewhat extreme. I built a (prototype) hand-tracking system using a 800x600 webcam[1]. In Javascript. Using a Flash->Javascript bridge. In 2009. I'm surprised that one can't find useful things to do with something that appears somewhat more capable.
