Holoflector

Holoflector is a unique, interactive augmented-reality mirror. Graphics are superimposed correctly on your own reflection to enable a novel augmented-reality experience. Presented at Microsoft Research's TechFest 2012, Holoflector leverages the combined abilities of Kinect and Windows Phone to infer the position of your phone and render graphics that seem to hover above it.

Where's your Steve now, Apple!?

Not a hope mate. The Playstation Move uses the Playstation Eye, which is a normal 2D webcam. The Kinect uses a *proper* 3 dimensional sensor array, so that it can actually "see" proper 3D images, hence making it far more accurate and easier to work with than the PSEye.

A pretty naive opinion. Steve didn't invent creativity. He was brilliant and so are others too. If he hadn't done what he has done, then other would. Just would have taken a bit longer. He is had great ideas though.

shut up biography the biggest bullshit ever invended...

I'm not an Apple fan, I used PC all my life, but without Steve Jobs there would be no such thing as innovative technology today. Read or watch his biography and I can almost promise you'll have more respect for him the second you finish.

You need to program that Kinect to display an activated lightsaber where your Windows Phone is!

They are overlaid from his perspective. Given the 3 feet gap, the head tracking in the kinect can be used to line-up content for perspective-correct rendering.
