That's really pretty awesome, and looks like it would be really easy to add your own objects. I wonder how much processing power it requires? |
What I liked most is the time dedicated to display the current limits of the technology. A good movie to describe a brilliant technology. |
When I see good research from Microsoft I cringe. Fearful that rather than a new idea achieving wide applicability, it will instead be patented and show up in yet another Windows-only product.
Fortunately, a lot of research done by Microsoft doesn't really seem all that "innovative", but this one looks good. Were it from Google, you might see this show up in a product within months, and maybe open sourced not long after that. With Microsoft, it might show up in some (again) Windows-only product in a year or two, or it might be patented and buried, just waiting for the chance to sue someone who comes up with a similar concept later.
Sad times we live in. |
