HoloLens: Microsoft's Most Intriguing Reveal During Windows 10 Briefing
- Thread starter dgstorm
- Start date
Why would I want to watch a hologram of a 132" tv? I think the future is fully immersive VR. Shoot and record tv and movies with a 1st person POV and the viewer becomes a fly on the wall. Like you're actually in the diner.
I wonder if for people in wheelchairs if it can't almost trick the senses into feeling like you're walking again.

Well you're a good many steps ahead of me! That would be incredible. Anything that can enhance the lifestyles of those who were either born with or have suffered injuries leaving them with physical disabilities is worthy of all our efforts to develop and bring to market.

VR might not be the right word, but as opposed to simulating a giant screen I'm talking encapsulating the tv show/movie in all or nearly all your entire field of vision. It would require them to shoot things differently as many of those close-up shots won't work because of scaling issues.

Yeah, I understood completely. Actually they already do still photography this way with VR walk-through tours of Real Estate and such. It's usually a camera positioned facing up and a glass optical ball (fish-eye globe) on top to give the camera 360 degree horizontal field of vision and something like 320 degree vertical field of vision. I wonder if that could work with 3D.
Here's a cheap adapter for an iPhone to take stills and video of that type...Kogeto Index . They also have a stand-alone video device as well.
Kodak has gotten into the game with Kodak s answer to GoPro lets you take spectacular 360-degree action videos - UltraDroid
Edit: Found this! Panocam3d Worlds first 3d 360 degree camera Indiegogo
AND in UHD 4K!!

I feel the same way about this kinda thing as I do about 3D movies/etc.
Until it works without having to wear those bulky, uncomfortable glasses, I'm not very interested.
I pay good money each year for contacts so I don't have to wear glasses. Why would I want to strap on a big ol' headset?
I'm also curious about the scenes where characters are running and jumping on the couch and table. I know having the kinect that they've come a long way in mapping rooms/etc, but I have a hard time believing they're as good at it as they make it look in those videos.
Still, cool concept and at least they're on the way somewhere.

I like new tech as much as anyone... Just in moderation. Don't get too deep...
