Looks interesting, has anyone tried it?

 

[Jonny]

I tried the demo...seems pretty cool to me!

 

[ElFenix]

still in alpha stage?

 

[ColdFusion718]

This looks very cool indeed.

 

[aphex]

lol, my friend just mentioned how cool that it would be with porn :beer:

Looks like it's neat to use once set up. I don't understand what is so great about it though. tech like this might one day help game developers make games based on the real world faster, but I don't see who would want this? How long has hte camcorder been around and the pictures are still what people look at with friends?

kewl!

camera market was almost dead before digital cameras became cheap and plentiful.


i'd use it for free, but wouldn't pay for it. unless i'm rolling in cash.

i am going to be the first to try that

Hahaha damn, I wonder if they happened to use some of my pics!

D'oh, after trying it, they are clearly using their own photos.

Seems like it would require loads of images to work as well as it does in that demo video, but I guess that is the point. I have a feeling it won't be freeware, though...

 

[DigitalWanksta]

Wow, seems to be extremely interesting. I think photographers would benefit from this significantly.

Lame, the concept is flawed and execution is really far fetched, and even if delivered it will be in some locked up form where people would have to pay through the nose to take advantage of, no thank you, I'll be looking at something else for my inspiration.

flawed? explain... not agreeing or disagreeing

it seems like an interesting idea at first.

 

[fierydemise]

I think it is very cool looking but I don't see a lot of practical use in it.

? Details?

 

[jagec]

Huh, that's pretty neat. I can't imagine how CPU intensive it must be, though.

 

[Maleficus]

I like it, neato.

 

[pulse8]

Interesting, but I can't imagine a situation where I would need something like that.

 

[everman]

holy crap, I'm more surprised that it actually works well in firefox 2.0, this is a microsoft product right? oh look there goes a flying pig, and flying monkeys too!

 

[dennilfloss]

I can see applications for virtual reality in the future, a step towards holodecks maybe. The military would like this too for targeting environments.

anybody can have an opinion without supporting facts or supporting explanation...

 

[Safeway]

Wow, that software is awesome! I would really like to see the UT Campus documented in that fashion.

 

[dennilfloss]

I'd love to see Mars that way.
