I can’t wait till they have that thing ready for film editing! That would be soooo awesome…
John Underkoffer came to visit our class and talked about this interface… brilliant guy. There’s a long way to go before this is ready for any affordable comsumer use though… notice that these demos are all done in super-dark uncluttered rooms, essentially VR caves.
But yeah, it’s badass what you can do with LED’s / infrared, a detector and a dark room. We just need designers like Underkoffer to keep being creative about how to use the stuff.
