Cool New 3D Technology

While it sounds cool, I always take announcements like this with a huge grain of salt. How many times have we heard about great new technologies under development that for some reason or another never make it to market?
 
So models can just walk down the runway naked and the computer will put clothes on them on the screen. They will never have to stop to change clothes, or tape and pin them to make them fit. Watching a fashion show in person will be even better then.

They can holodeck a crowd around the models in too. No need to have filthy filthy pervs like you staring.

Yeah, it seems that does happen to a lot of stuff. I actually saw this video a few years ago (this exact one with that exact newscaster), and we still don't really have that kind of thing available for people to buy. We have much less accurate things sort of like that though - my acer travelmate notebook came with software that lets you add hats and mustaches to your face in real time that is suppose to track your head.

Do you suffer limited vocabulary or something? You said exactly the same thing in another post regarding IBM's 45nm chips in China. This is [H]ard|OCP where we stay on the bleeding edge of news, or try to. That means concepts and ideas too.

If you don't like dreaming about future technology and seeing them come into fruitation whether it's practical or not, I think you're in the wrong forum.
 
Mmm... Will there be a time when we go to get a hair cut and we choose exactly what we want with a preview? I guess so. :)

There will be a time when we choose what other ppl see us without we do any hair cut, or what we are wearing as we are naked.
 
The video doesn't show up for me but is this like that demo with a helicopter and other 3D objects added on top of live footage where a guy would interact with the 3D objects in real-time? That looked great if you looked at the composited images...

Nope, this is a guys face being morphed in real time. Then later a girl walks down a runway and the screen has different clothes on her.
 
Well I think I saw this video for the first time like 2-3 years ago, but it is still very very cool.
 
Yeah i remember seeing this about 3 years ago. Oddly enough i remember viewing it from a previous Hard linkage.

Would love to see how the tech has progressed since then
 
Why can't we do this now in RPG games by using a pair of web cams on top of your monitor to get the 3d image it needs?

Can you even imagine how cool an RPG or FPS would be if the game would lip sync and follow all your facial features in real time? Holy schnaz that would rock.


Take it one step farther and have it watch your arms too, then you could have facial expression and gestures while talking to someone else in a game. Based on that video, it could be done now.

Not only that, he's ripping me off (hoo, hoo, Robin.)
 
Wow Don't all of the other high quality motion capturing require some kind of point capturing? If all you needed was a camera, this software could let regular people do motion capturing, and even facial expression capturing.
 
At the start of the video, it says '2005'. Is this technology from 2005 that, almost 3 years latter, we've yet to see implemented in anything?

I think so. I watched it yesterday and had a feeling I had seen it before.
 
Really neat stuff. Mind starts to wander with all the different concepts you could use this for. So much for wardrobe change in a trailer..no make up..no security having to walk you back and forth............
