KinectFusion HQ

[goomee3d]

now if they would put an HD Camera on the damned thing

[killerbee230]

Wow this is really really impressive! Looking forward to see more, good job guys/gals, would love to be part in such a project :)

[ChuckVanDamme]

This is by far the most amazing thing. Go, Microsoft!

[imbusy111]

"requires no feature extraction or feature tracking" - forgetting the fact that Kinect itself is doing feature tracking?

[theIrishFooFighter]

:O thats feckin unreal!!!

[kanabalize]

Hi may i know what programming language you used?

[philnolan3d]

@shroompants It's probably meant to look like the Utah Teapot, just like the one in max is.

[philnolan3d]

I already bought a Kinect for it's mocap capabilities, this would just be the very sweet icing on the cake.

[piroman665]

going to buy kinnect in the end i presume

[paulothedogg]

2 people are so stupid to understand what does this video mean!!

[mekaron7]

epic stuff! now how about using the color chanel for projection? texturing this shit sounds like a nightmare...

[cutswift]

wow wow wow

[guidewired]

and.... how long before this is available to the public?

[guidewired]

you guys just pwned autodesk

[UnitedPlayahz]

240p, We meet again...

[zwarriorcr]

Amazing

[DarkNeoBahamut]

this is way too cool

[wuzlump]

This was probably filmed and rendered with Kinect, judging by the quality...

[captainpiccard]

OOOOHHH SHIT IT'S ON NOW

[AssesinoCereal]

Take everything! just don't hurt the kids.

[marcinan]

I wonder if it is possible to mo-cap with this software. Recording the movements of when the guy was highlighted in pink and dropping them onto a different model would make life so much easier. Is this a viable solution for a budget mo-cap rig? Because real mo-cap can get expensive real fast.

[xxYetterxx]

@marcinan Yup, already being used as a low budget mo-cap solution for independent developers. I saw it used for mo-cap in a low budget animated web series is well though I can't remember the name of it.

[philnolan3d]

@marcinan For mocap and Kinect I use iPiSoft it works quite well.

[Bloodsight]

really really nice. Maybe a high resolution Kinect Cam could make the modeling for Game devolopers much much easier.

[Xakon122]

im a sony fan but shit, this is fucking amaizing!! cant wait to the next console gen.. also, the battle will be really nice :P

[kapewaken]

How use this in videogames or media centers? Potential without goals worth nothing

[marcinan]

@kapewaken I think thats the point, these guys just make the tech, it's up to game designers to work out how to utilise it. Two completely different fields there.

[Parson2]

So is this how SkyNet got started?

[abram730]

@Parson2 Nope, skynet would be to obvious.. Making dues ex real, now that will slip under the radar.

watch?v=1b-bijO3uEw

[donmcthrill]

Amazing! im an architect and this needs to be in my tool bag. Regarding the last part of the video, where the gentleman is painting the model in the real and the virtual world at the same time. Wicked! Microsoft should make glasses that allows the user to see what kinect sees - at 1:1 speed. If they create this then add some autodesk sketchbook pro tools that i can use while moving around the real space, WE ARE IN BUSINESS... not to mention all of the role and job changes that will take place

[camdentayler]

This is all very exciting, and I say that without reservation, but I'll buy a Kinect when this sort of thing is used intelligently in a game and not before.

[S1h4d0w]

HQ my ass. Why is this only 240p? This is unwatchable.

[rushnerd]

I'm in awe, this is the future right here

[Thanaz483]

like some guy in "Gamer" said: "Could you imagine porn on this thing?"

[photogomes]

So my 14 years of modeling skills is obsolete.

[surlylemur]

@photogomes Haha yeah same with my generalist experience seems it can do almost anything.

[TheMightyMosher]

@photogomes They Still need someone to hold the Camera

[philnolan3d]

@photogomes not quite, you'll still have to transfer tem over to doing retopology. And of course things that doesn't exist in the real world.

[abram730]

@photogomes "So my 14 years of modeling skills is obsolete"

Would you ever consider cheeseburger construction for change in careers?

[photogomes]

@abram730 i love to construct cheeseburgers. I've worked at McDonald's when i was a teenager while i was delivering the community newspaper.

[jtapia1123]

Imagine thousands of these set up around a football arena capturing every moment, broadcasters would be able to move the virtual camera in and around players for every angle, getting their facial reactions and perfect viewpoints of plays. This will literally change the future of media.

[Budgiebrain994]

point it at a mirror...

[Ryuuken24]

It's only HQ when we have agreed upon what that means, in a sense the 3D does improve, but that is with the pc, doing God knows how many calculations, the hardware in the kinect isn't high quality, but it's okay. Let's agree on something here, in order for this to be even something to talk about, it needs to be improved in the hardware part, not only forcing software to decode poor feedback from a broken down machine. Lag is a big deal, Kinect isn't kind about it either.

[lcdvasrm]

@Ryuuken24

The Kinect Depth map has a resolution 640x480 encoded in 12bits. That's quite good.

[jclaine]

240p we meet again....

[bradmitchgreg]

Mind. Blown.

[theend1245]

these People Deserve an Applaud. Absolutely Amazing.

[vrogy]

COOL. Where can I grab the source and work on this?

[shearerforgold]

/watch?v=quGhaggn3cQ for 480p version

[RelinquishLove]

Your "move" Sony.

[philnolan3d]

@RelinquishLove I'm not really sure this has anything to do with Sony.

[RelinquishLove]

@philnolan3d It's a jab at Sony Playstation's Move.... meaning it's their turn to 1-up this. You know, because they're in competition against each other? Kinect vs Move. I thought I was pretty clear.

[philnolan3d]

@RelinquishLove I know it was intended for that purpose, but I really think this has more potential for 3D artists than anything else, therefore Sony is not really involved unless you mean for the artists that work at the Sony owned studios.

[UltraSwat]

I am pretty much in awe right now. That really is amazing. And as someone who has dabbled in 3d animation, I know how amazing that is. The possibilities are seriously endless. Keep it up guys!

[place910]

fantastic tech but ffs use the what we've already got and upload in 1080p

[macdredude]

wow the future is here!

[CalabreseMPC]

It's finally starting to happen! We need to mount the camera on the persons head and use VR glasses, or maybe the next kinect will be a kinect inside VR glasses :]

This is what I'm looking for. We can change the world!

[liual90]

omg please take my money already

[macdredude]

@liual90 lol!

[GNoodle]

Amazing.

[mobber10]

imagine once some nanobots have this technology perfected... all up in the future.

[mobber10]

surface scanning, image recognition, text recognition.... possibilities

[Varsi05]

Microsoft needs to patent the hell out of this one.

[Yourtravelboy]

Imagine what Google maps would look like if they used these on their street view cars lol

[G33kyAli]

@Yourtravelboy Nokia's Ovi maps has that already maps.nokia.com/3D/

[Haroids]

This video was rendered with a potato.

[IntelliEx]

You have this amazing video and a 240p version was all you could upload? What a shame. 

[facegarden]

Hey! I've been looking for a good 3D scanning solution using Kinect for a while now! I tried "Kinect RGB Demo" and "Kinect RGBDSLAM" and this looks far more advanced and robust than any of those! Are you guys planning on releasing more information, and/or source? I would love to play with all of this! Especially scene surface reconstruction. Thanks!

[Alphapredator1]

OMFG!!! Now kinect can see an environment, reproduce it, and interact with it, also detecting it's own movement visually!!!! This has so many applications! I'm a hardcore gamer and didn't gave a fuck about kinect, but if MS implement this maybe in the next generation xbox, they'll get my money. Just think about the potential of this.
