Mixed Reality Interface

to everyone who says this is useless, you've clearly never had to make animatics for motion pictures, and that's just the first use to this technology that popped to my head... being able to control 3d objects, lights and cameras from a miniature stage would save up so much time and staff...

Pah, its just fiducials.
Although some of the ways you can change stuff by rotation is pretty cool.

hold on a sec!
I just got it!
we're in the computer...they're out..or so they think
the virtual duck thinks it real and there are virtual humans on the other side controlling it

the graphics on the table with those crappy looking hands SUCKED....lol cool vid

it's a proof of concept you tool. replace baby items with folders, documents pictures your mobile device anything. some people...

that concept is like backtracking. What would be useful about having your mobile device and other gadgets that are on a table displayed in a virtual world. It does nothing but look cool.....barely that. My comment doesn't apply to just baby toys. even with other useful stuff replacing the toys the fact still stands.....this does nothing. You can use other interfaces and technology to accomplish the same task without the drawbacks of physically having the objects on the table.

Microsoft surface or the wii whiteboard would pawn this in a second.  Even advancing this concept to where you can access the web and things by manipulating these real world objects does little. It would be like an overpriced mouse. The 3d world only exists because of the software and cameras. In the event that these were used to access software like a normal computer the objects in real world would just become a expensive mouse. I'd rather go with the wii whiteboard. more practical

having to move through a virtual world to find folders pictures and documents would be just like searching for them in real life.  Its pointless. The 2d interface is fine. this software could only win a modern art contest.....thats about all it is good for.

Maybe in the future babies will use this to learn about the virtual world. It will be like computer training. This way they will understand and grasp the concepts of computers at very young ages.....ie 4 or younger. They could learn to ask for food by clicking certain things to say words or something representing the concept of eating.




I can see a baby picking this up quicker then sign language. This would give babies an upper hand.

Maybe they could be Computer trained even before potty trained.....
