RGBD Mention in the Guardian

“One of the best-attended was one about a new framework called ‘RGB+Depth’, where a Kinect device is attached to a high-definition camera, thereby adding a depth component to filming. This generated a lot of attention. Film-makers, such as the Berlin-based Gabriel Shalom recognised the potential of a world where, instead of just frames, what directors are effectively capturing in shooting is a ‘point cloud’, enabling them to experiment with the creation of ‘virtual cameras’ in post-production.”

GREAT NEWS | DEPTH_EDITOR_DEBUG IN PRAGUE ART SHOW

As many of you know I have been working on a really fruitful, ongoing collaboration with my good friend James George.

I'm excited to announce that we were recently invited to show prints from the series we have been working on with the Xbox Kinect at ENTER5, an international art, science & technology biennale in Prague hosted by the International Center for Art & New Technologies (CIANT) and the National Technical Library (NTK).

PRESS | NEW SCIENTIST ON KINECT PROJECT

We were featured in a neat little piece on interesting Kinect hacks on New Scientist. There's also a cool one on there to help surgeons to navigate through 3D views of organs during surgery.

We are also proud to have been featured recently on CreativeApplications.net.

3D with Kinect

James and I did an experiment tonight where we essentially took a three dimensional photograph. We linked my camera to a Kinect, a device which was released two weeks ago for Xbox 360 designed to allow people to control video games with their bodies. We took simultaneous images with both the camera and the Kinect. Then we mapped the image onto the 3D image and began to rotate the image in 360 degrees!
