Many have not noticed, but Microsoft Kinect is the first 3D laser scanner for everyone! For the control of console games such a technology is really a shame and does not particularly good, because there exists no movement that replaces the button presses in games (Ars Technica reviews Kinect ). Even Microsoft Kinect is not accurate enough to understand eg sign language ( Microsoft Confirms Kinect Can not Read Sign Language ).
But it seems accurate enough (according PrimeSense: Beyond Natal 0.3 * 0.3 * 2.0 cm resolution, one could also make multiple shots to increase the accuracy) to easily capture a 3D model of the body. This would have finally a chance to try on virtual clothes, or hairstyles, glasses, shoes, etc. .. could
applications such as a virtual mirror could be made, before I put myself in underwear and without the hassle when I try it on and off quickly the different clothes, which for example, Google's latest online shopping site boutiques.com would be very useful.
I admit, the idea requires substantial (computational) effort, because of the clothes have 3d models exist and they must adapt themselves realistically to the body, wrinkle, and the ambient light conditions into account would have to to create a realistic impression of color. Would be impossible, of course, still to feel the garment. The reality is it can not replace. But a 3D model of the body could still be a great help to the sofa, a first preselection for clothes.
have a precise 3D model of the body, you could probably make a lot more. One could think of diet and fitness software that makes visible the progress closely and so motivated to continue (or to give up ;-)). With high precision even orthopedic tests were possible, such as whether the spine straight, or whether one leg longer than the other, etc. .. . One could compare their own bodies with the precision of Facebook friends (all of your 3D body have been online) in order to develop complexes or to control them.
But you could not just a 3D model of the body record (on the privacy issues here, I will say nothing), but also from all other objects.
So you could scan their own furniture, and then virtually try before, such as (was one of the also get a 3D model of the broker) in the new home fit.
cheap 3d laser scanner built into digital cameras the way, such as photos and films could revolutionize be included. You could move in later in a still photo scene people and objects in 3D space and forth. A dream for commercial photographers ...
The technology for such ideas is certainly now here! I predict times that it takes more than two years to many of these applications exist as prototypes. And Apple has not invented it:
... but the Israeli military!
