A Minority Report-style media wall with full gesture control
December 22, 2008 by alikat.
“We compare a lot of things to Minority Report around here — since it’s so damn cool and all — but most of the technology we come across simply approximates the almost ridiculous amount of gesture controls presented by the movie. Tom Cruise was spinning his hands, position his fingers every-which-way, and using iPhone-like pinch commands to manipulate all of the ghostly windows hovering before him. Well, I guess the guys over at Oblong Industries have been watching a lot of Minority Report, because so do they.”

What is Photosynth?
December 5, 2008 by alikat.
“Imagine being able to share the places and things you love using the cinematic quality of a movie, the control of a video game, and the mind-blowing detail of the real world. With nothing more than a bunch of photos, Photosynth creates an amazing new experience.
Photosynth is a potent mixture of two independent breakthroughs: the ability to reconstruct the scene or object from a bunch of flat photographs, and the technology to bring that experience to virtually anyone over the Internet.
Photosynth was inspired by the breakthrough research on Photo Tourism from the University of Washington and Microsoft Research.
Note:
Photosynth installs two programs on your computer: a Web browser plug-in for viewing synths, and an application (called "Photosynth") for creating them.”
Just amazing!
