A Microsoft Research Mashup: Kinect + Augmented Reality = A Holodeck Mockup

Augmented Reality, Face Detection, Face Recognition, Gesture Control /

I've often heard it claimed that Microsoft's Research Labs is the only remaining substantial-sized industry R&D arm, subsequent to the demise of Bell Labs and the downsizing of folks like Xerox PARC. While I don't have any particular interest in confirming or refuting the claim, what I will say with confidence is that the multi-site,

Products Versus Patents: Does Apple Also Plan Gesture-Enhanced Handsets?

Gesture Control /

Whatever Microsoft pioneers, Apple sooner or later seemingly reproduces (and visa versa). Earlier today, I mentioned that Microsoft's just-released Kinectanimals for Windows Phone game title leverages front-facing image sensors on smartphones for gesture interface purposes. Judging from a recently filed patent, Apple has similar aspirations…or at least wants to use its intellectual property as leverage

Microsoft Kinectimals: Gesture-Based Interfaces Come To Smartphones

Face Detection, Face Recognition, Gesture Control /

One notable optics omission from Nokia's first two Windows Phone O/S-based handsets, a writeup on which I just published, is that they don't include the front-facing cameras which Windows Phone v7.5 supports for the first time, and which other OEMs are including in their new "Mango"-based handsets. The omission is especially surprising given that Nokia's

Nokia’s Windows Phone-Based Handsets: The Optics Make The Difference

Uncategorized /

Having recently discussed the embedded vision applicability of latest-generation smartphones based both on Apple's iOS (the iPhone 4S) and Google's Android (the Samsung Galaxy Nexus), it's appropriate to also give Microsoft's Windows Phone (formerly Windows Mobile, all based on Windows CE) O/S a turn in the spotlight. Latest version 7.5, aka "Mango", is now shipping

Face Detection, Face Recognition, Gesture Control /

Two weeks back, I discussed how Microsoft was "maturing" the Xbox 360 Kinect experience by integrating support for the peripheral in an increasing number of new games, including adult-tailored titles such as Forza Motorsport 4. More recently, Microsoft took the broadening aspiration in the other direction, partnering with three other companies to create content targeting
