Hideo Kojima in his new game Metal Gear Solid V is using 3d vision to get the best data about the materials and for model scanning.
Why do i call it 3d vision? I think the term stereo vision is too small, since when we have more cameras we can achieve more detail :)
It's clear to me that 3d vision brings new quality to the game industry, i need to push my schedule to get in touch again with this technology, 700 series of GTX brings a cheaper TITAN to our houses - that's a huge step for CUDA and OpenCL also the open documentation for linuxes for both NVidia and AMD brings alot of good thoughts. Flash encoders are starting to take advantage in it - mostly Open Broadcaster Software.
Recent developments in matter of affordable 3d vision is extreme! It starts with John Carmack beeing a CTO of the oculus ritf. This technology really emerges the player into the gameplay. But it lacks a manner of augmentation You say? Well there's Haptix - a brand new stereo camera that is designed to be used as a 3d mouse with pressure recognition on any surface with multitouch. With it's high FOV and fps on both eyes - makes a great tool to extend and improve any 3d vision laboratory. For any
But you don't want to count all those dense disparity maps - that is possible - with leap motion you can determine 3d position of fingers above the reader (i know it's not 3d vision but it's extremely cool and speeds up work immensively with gestures, 10 point multitouch and drawing in the air)
If you don't want to count disparity maps, and you want augmented reality search no more. Recently there was a development made that in my honest opinion outgrows google glass by far. It's called Space Glasses Yes it's expensive, Yes there's not alot of Meta.01 models left - but it's the first heads on transparent display - the transparent surface on the glasses is a display - not a 1080p but enoughly good ones( two 960×540) to make work of 3d artists more interesting
, and augmented reality researchers work much more enjoyable.
It comes with a set of quite accurate i must say algorithms it has accurate accelerometers and brings an extremely good stereo camera (23-degree field of view, a 720p camera, a 320×240 infra-red depth camera)
All this 3d goodness was brought to us by Kickstarter - if you don't know what's kickstarter - you will be a happy camper searching for things you thought are impossible to get at a consumer level.
And now from the creators from kinect itself comes probably something that nobody would expect, a 3d scanner that you can mount to your.... IPad.
Structure sensor is in my opinion the project of the year. As of time while i write this article you can get Your own sensor as fast as possible. I still need money to get all those things + some other peripherals. For now leap motion it's on it's way and i'm very happy from that. It will start my 3d investigations once again. I had a good feel that 3d vision will be a huge point of interest in the near future when I've started my little experiments with it. I just cannot wait to get evil scientist fingers on all of this technology and create something outstanding in my slippers and robe, drinking Yerba Mate and listening to Jimmy Hendrix all the way up on the speakers.
