Soon Your Computer Will See You Always

This little demo of some webcam background removal and face tracking trickery from Chris Harrison is auspicious of things to come for the future of viewing moving images. As long as our viewing devices are flat we'll have these slightly compromised aesthetics. Reminiscent of the previously posted DIY Nintendo Wii 3D Tracking Hack.

X-BOX Project Natal

Would love to see this working on the movie-theater scale.

DIY Nintendo Wii 3D Tracking Hack

Seems to me after watching this video that widespread 3D holographic effects are just around the corner. I wonder how difficult it would be to get this working with most webcams in most laptops, or if the necessary sensor technology could be embedded easily.

Thanks to Rigo for showing me this video :)
