Very interesting, but practically speaking it's an answer in a search of a question. This will likely be natively supported by smartphones in a matter of 2-3 generations, so they have very limited time to figure out what the question is and to grab that niche.
But all in all, and I hate to say this, I think they will ultimately fail.
This would be very useful to make fps maps based on real world places we know, like our neighborhood or make come true a dream of a friend of mine, to play counter strike in a map simulating the university campus
Does anyone know the people behind this? i.e. could someone make an educated guess as to whether they're likely to meet their Feb 2014 ship date?
honest question: how is this different from a mobilized version of Kinect?
Even if it was, that would be great.
The usability of first Kinect was hampered by low resolution resulting from low bandwith on USB2.0. Can a smartphone deal effectively with bandwidth offered by USB3.0 ?
It's, a Primesense camera, so it literally is a mobile version of Kinect, but with better hardware.
