Intel Showcases RealSense 3D Camera Applications and Technologies In New York
MojoKid writes: Intel gathered a number of its OEM and software partners together in New York City recently to showcase the latest innovations that the company's RealSense 3D camera technology can enable. From new interactive gaming experiences to video collaboration, 3D mapping and gesture controls, Intel's front-facing RealSense technology holds promise that could someday reinvent how we interact with PCs. The F200 RealSense camera module itself integrates a depth sensor and a full color 1080p HD camera together with standard technologies like dual array mics, but with an SDK, on-board processing engine and 3rd party software that can allow the camera module to sense numerous environmental variables, much more like a human does. In the demos that were shown, RealSense was used to create an accurate 3D map of a face, in a matter of seconds, track gestures and respond to voice commands, allow touch-free interaction in a game, and remove backgrounds from a video feed in real-time, for more efficient video conferencing and collaboration.
The Linux package (drivers/apps) for this camera are closed source binary blob, and absoltely require systemd. :\
What the heck is this binspam comment? Who you happen to be behind that site you've linked in here by chance? Let's see, HotHardware rips on your support of of $5 - $7K Ethernet cables that supposedly make a difference in audio fidelity, so you go trolling totally unrelated news stories linking to some rebuttal story on your site? Who's the "bad source?" Stay classy behind that Anonymous Coward login, chief.
