I think people are missing the point of this kind of work. It's not meant to be a replacement to 3d modelers, it's a break-through in how computers make sense of OUR environment. With known surfaces, walls, objects, etc...we can start to extend the computer interface beyond the mouse & keyboard and into a new world of computer vision where we can detect the movement, position and rotation of any arbitrary object, turn surfaces into an input devices and finally get away from our desks and chairs.

This is better than porn.

i see future video cameras having this sort of thing embedded so visFX guys can add 3d effects really easily.

@Feuyaer the open source one has already been released, running it is just somewhat of a pain right now but it works.

It's been six months. Release it you lazy turds.

@abram730 Like hell. A typical machine has perhaps 512 MB to 2 GB of graphics memory, 4 to 16 GB of RAM memory and the bandwidth limitations of PCI-E will prevent you from shoveling several gigabytes over to the graphics card every frame. An SSD can read a few hundred megabytes per second under ideal circumstances, that's pitiful. You can't ship multi-terabyte games to consumers.
