Kinect & Transparent EL Screen Create Holographic 3D Display - Second Story Labs
Engineers at the Second Story Labs are playing with Microsoft Kinect to come up with innovative user experience. They have combined the head tracking capabilities of Kinect with Planar's transparent EL screen to create something different altogether. Usually, when users stand before the Kinect camera, its depth-sensing feature tracks their faces and captures information such as the 3d position and orientation of that user's head. So, taking this passive information capturing a step forward, Second Story Lab engineers' team unified this information with openGL code and the electroluminescent display from Planar to create a type of holographic 3D display.

This experience works for one user at a time. As you will see in the video below, the display, the camera and the position of user's head are calibrated so that we can see a 3d model floating behind the screen. It is indeed amazing and we are looking forward to its future transparent display installations. What do our readers think?
