Obscura VisionAire Interface

OK, so it's not really a hologram, but it is pretty cool. This project is a combination of a number of technologies. In this one, we are using our multi touch software and combining it with the musion eyeliner system. welcome to the new world of powerpoint!

This kind of tech is always shown with this demo of moving and resizing random polaroids around on a table. I mean, really? Who keeps anything organized like that? How does that show any practical application whatsoever? Gimmick. Marketing gimmick.

[patcon96]

yup. nobody will use it today. you are right. stay tuned.

Awesome work, guys! Very exciting technology!

Would you mind if I ask what language you developed this in and what platform is running it? How beefy is the system(s) running the application?

[patcon96]

hey, thanks. it is not perfect, but it is pretty cool.

it is running in an openGL application that we wrote. it can do scaling, annotation, rotation, etc on videos and photos, has google earth hooks (ill show you on the next video), can do teleconferencing and plays video games.

its currently running on a quad core xeon, 4gb ram and dual 128gb solid state drives.

the display is a musion screen. pretty simple actually, it is just the interface that is unique here.

How could you possibly surf pr0n "successfully" when this interface seems to work best when using two hands? (Sounds like a Buddhist koan)

You can trash it all u want, but this is the beginning of a new era in technology.

This could potentially be an amazing tool for presenters, but for a normal user using a giant projection display isn't very useful.

[Smokie181]

are you talking about something like this in the video below?

Btw just wait until the 'next generation' of this tech come out!!

The first car invented was nothing compared to what cars are today.

que lindo, en especial la última parte, cuando dibja en el aire....

[gnober]

wished the presenter didnt looked too "into it". =)

pretty awesome tech

[nicegus]

actually, that's like what you described, but the glass is actually a thin transparent screen, where the content is projected. He can't touch the content because the screen is not like a iPhone screen, it's made of some kind of plastic material that can be cut.

[campincarl42]

Wow sweet some tool douche waving his arms around like retard. This video is extremely lame. How are any of you actually impressed? wtf?

[Dazabrit]

I think this is a great project but I've never liked the idea of interacting with this kind of technology without some kind of physical interaction.

I would like to see this idea with some kind of glass screen so you were manipulating the digital content on a glass plate but the audience could still see the presenter.

Alien technology?
