Who said Microsoft cannot invent? The Microsoft Research team is making use of most interactive and favorite interactivity solution, Kinect, in a research project that will definitely “wow” you. The project is named “HoloDesk“,
which allows users to play or manipulate with virtual 3D objects, in an
aim to bridge the gap between the real and the virtual world.
The project (system), built by Microsoft Research in Cambridge, is made up of an overhead screen, which has a cabinet like structure, and projects a 2D image through a beam splitter to measure the depth. It uses a combination of projectors, Kinect technology and webcams to read the user’s hands and face. Several custom algorithms are used to calculate the object size, color, distance, and so on, in order to bring everything together in real time.
