Week 11 - Kinect + Me = Saturday Night Fever.

Well on the first week, Jeremy took at 3D photo of me via the xbox kinect camera. It uses depth sensor to create a 3D representation of the room and calculated a 3D figure in the scene. It is really clever, but then again it is still in the early stages.

Heres an example of the 3D version of me, taken from the Kinect Camera Source, as you can see i was emulating John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. I have no clue why i did this.

As you can see the Kinect Camera is not very precise, but when using it on the xbox it is uses the tracking data to calculate what the actions the human body is doing. For gaming it is perfect, but for cinematography it is not. In the future microsoft are going to track the human face, for emotion, so this is an exciting use of the technology.
