Optical Camouflage Puts Kinect Into Stealth Mode

Posted by timothy on from the where-are-you-anyhow dept.

UgLyPuNk writes "Takayuki Fukatsu, a Japanese coder who works under the name Art & Mobile, has done a bit of trickery with Kinect and openFrameworks. The peripheral will still track your movement and position, but turns your image nearly transparent. Take a look (it's particularly obvious at about 1:30):"

    Here's an idea for "optic camouflage" using the kinect:
    1) Take a still shot of the room
    2) Make still shot the static image
    3) walk in front of camera
    4) OMG! I CANT SEE MYSELF! IT'S JUST SHOWING A STILL IMAGE! I AM CAMOUFLAGED!!!1111oneone
