Can all TED talks be like this? Sweet, concise, and actually innovative.

@jehsiman 10 лет назад

I used to attend a high school in a very low- income area and of course; we couldn't afford the interactive smart boards which basically every other school had at least a few of. My math teacher who was so passionate about education and technology adopted this system of a budget interactive whiteboard to make her teaching more visual and enhancing and seeing this video, I feel so grateful for some reason. Great work Johnny! Your work really did enable less advantaged people to maintain the technological advancements that everyone else was achieving.

oclus rift? htc vive?

@UNTBC 8 лет назад

BenjerminGaye different kind of head tracking. That uses absolute position relative to the screen. The headsets use relative tracking based on compass position.

@RG-Zeldaplayer 8 лет назад

Why the need for the headset display then? I mean this demo uses head tracking software and an IR camera with a pair of LEDs attached to some safety glasses to create a 3 dimensional effect on a 2d TV screen, why then, are developers opting to mount stereoscopic displays in chunky visors? Surely this eliminates the need for VR... more to the point we've had a generational leap in home consoles with another one due soon since this video and no-one's developed a game around this very simple set up.

@XSpImmaLion 16 лет назад

Johnny Lee deserved the standing ovation... It's not just about his current experiments, but on how many people it can affect, and how accessible he made it for the general public. Great stuff! Happy to see some game development companies are already considering doing something with the idea!

the most remarkable thing about this guy is the fact he did not care about making any profit out of this idea. He developed the thing himself at his own costs and just gave it away to the public.

@DeimosSaturn 15 лет назад

If you shutter the left and right lenses of those glasses to match a rapidly alternating image on the screen, you can have true depth perception AND head tracking. And if you have pupil tracking cameras mounted on the glasses, you can even have eye tracking data that would feed into the computer giving high fidelity field of depth changing in real time with the natural focusing movements of the eyes.

@Cold0cean 16 лет назад

Yes! He's research is getting the attention it deserves! I'm glad youtube helped him get there. As soon as EA announces specifically what game this is being applied to, I'm getting it.
