Combining Two Kinects To Make Better 3D Video

Posted by Soulskill on from the this-is-what-happens-when-yo dept.

suraj.sun sends this quote from Engadget about improving the Kinect 3D video recordings we discussed recently: "[Oliver Kreylos is] blowing minds and demonstrating that two Kinects can be paired and their output meshed — one basically filling in the gaps of the other. He found that the two do create some interference, the dotted IR pattern of one causing some holes and blotches in the other, but when the two are combined they basically help each other out and the results are quite impressive."

      Correct me if I'm wrong, but if there's 4 girls then wouldn't there also be 4 boxes?

      Just sayin'...

    And why no apostrophe for "connects"?

    Because that's not a plural. What do you think I am, an idiot?
