A University of California Davis researcher has figured out how to turn the Microsoft Xbox Kinect into a 3D video camera.
The device was hacked a little over a week ago and then researcher Oliver Kreylos spent three days working on capturing objects in three dimensions using the Kinect's two cameras. He then reconstructed the objects in real time "from scratch" in C++ using his own Vrui virtual reality (VR) toolkit for 3D rendering management and interaction.
