Microsoft’s Augmented Reality 3D HoloDesk Lets You Play With Balls In Real Time
- dkersten 15y agoSomething similar from a few years ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-P1zZAcPuw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-P1zZAcPuw Unless I missed it, the microsoft HoloDesk does not provide tactile feedback like the one in the outube video. Still cool though.
- jarin 15y agoKind of makes you wonder why "Microsoft Research" isn't just "Microsoft".
- ConstantineXVI 15y agoBecause "Microsoft Research" doesn't have to consider silly things like profit (or even marketability), that's for big MS to figure out.
- darrenkopp 15y agoNeither does Bing (at least so far).
- tomjen3 15y agoYou become the first company to launch a phone that can be interacted with in 3D, you become very, very profitable.
- contextfree 15y agoNot if your phone costs thousands of dollars to manufacture and you haven't yet worked out how to make the 3D interaction actually useful for anything.
- hugh3 15y agoWhat a three-dimensional phone may look like: http://www.zsqts.com.cn/product-photo/2009-05-06/9d783160c8bdd3314f8db62267031bc1/Antique-Wooden-Telephone-Old-Style-Telephone-Novelty-Telephone.jpg http://www.zsqts.com.cn/product-photo/2009-05-06/9d783160c8b...
- 7952 15y agoI can't imagine how his kind of interface would ever be useful in a phone. Interface is determined by form factor. Kinect is great across a room, but for a hand held device?
- ShawnJG 15y agoI wouldn't be surprised if MS is trying to leapfrog over the latest social craze and looking further down the road to DECIDE what the next craze will be before anyone else can.
- cachemoney 15y agoWho writes these titles?
- MrVitaliy 15y agoSame thought. Wonder if those titles are generated simply for a more descriptive url. In that case, I think writers are missing their target audience - humans. Also this particular title strikingly resembles typical MS's writing signature such as "Buy a home, get a US visa, Senators propose" See http://bottomline.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/10/20/8413642-buy-a-home-get-a-us-visa-senators-propose http://bottomline.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/10/20/8413642-buy... You would certainly get a low mark at an elementary writting class for a paper title like that.
- pshapiro 15y agoAt last.
- sethbannon 15y agoIt's funny to think of how primitive this will seem in a decade's time -- like the first TVs or the first cell phones.
- DharmaSoldat 15y agoLove the title. Though it made me think the video would be something different. "Ghost in the Shell"-style tech is the way of the future. Anyone else excited about the yet unreleased Sony HMD?
- rick888 15y ago..and here I thought I could already do that.
- joeycfan 15y agoStop feeding me these straight lines.
