Great smartening up the idiot continues. It was a few years ago that we began to see the first Internet-connected TVs and TV manufacturers have since added more and more a few useful functions, usually once or twice generation — he did not do to put them all at once, of course. And although a lot of functionality remains set-top box, media player or console, it is inevitable that these increasingly capable display devices will integrate stuff that we believe the latest today.
Take control of the gesture, for example. Microsoft in gaming peripherals, Kinect made people aware of the tracking and Depth sensing camera, although it is often the hacks that really deliver on the potential. PrimeSense, who made a great contribution to the development of Kinect, hopes to join the next generation display interface with next generation equipment.
Speaking at GDC Europe, Hoffnung Amir PrimeSense outlined plans for crowding out traditional controls and demonstrates the flexibility of the company OpenNI framework coding in the main game in less than half an hour. He hoped that open framework would help to attract new and intuitive controls for increasingly powerful TVs:
"Are the main products in your living room. Currently living rooms have TVs and smart TVs that you can run the spectrum of application beyond the show. "But all these smart TVs will require new remote control, because all these smart TVs richer and deeper level of input.
They face stiff competition: Microsoft opened Kinect SDK in June, after a lot of informal Haq made clear they had the potential for the development of a gold mine in his hand. And although PrimeSense worked with Asus for Kinect such devices, it's much more expensive and not quite up to snuff.
That they are not Microsoft gives them an advantage, though. OpenNI is an open-source, and although, of course, does not mean that it is free for all, it's more likely that a company like Samsung and LG, for example, will try to play with it. Microsoft probably already exploring ways to expand Kinect yourself: not less than the Gates himself talked to desktop applications.
Hoffnung also mentions OnLive brought to TVs. Although many of them still skeptical of the service, its capacity and technical achievements of hard to deny. If you were to combine the OnLive tech with some basic casual games controlled by sensing webcam gesture, he may just explode. Play a little bit match three or farm sim during the commercials, or while waiting for the rented movie cache? You better believe there are tens of millions of couch potatoes who would jump at the opportunity. Well maybe not jump, but they will at least wave their arms around, and that's all you need to.
This is all quite distant speculation, and this is very much dependent on the TV attract developers to their devices. HD cameras for video chat integration and a little more horsepower for the screen (you need a good amount of cache and a bit of hardware to do hardcore streaming and gesture tech) and PrimeSense his dream could become a daily experience.
The basic meaning of the concept is a device that enables a computer to perceive the world in 3D and get an understanding of peace based on the view, just as. ..
