Do you like Kinect? Because that guy built Kinect. And that's how he was envisioning kinect being used.
I dont recall him actually building Kinect, just that he was hired by MS to help with it. Correct me if I am wrong.

How has this shit not already been patented like ten years ago?

Eye Tracking Enabling 3D Viewing on Conventional 2D Display
What an idiotic thing to patent.
I understand they have to, at the risk of letting patent trolls file it, but I still find the idea of patenting the concept of eye activated paralax scrolling depressing.
No, touch screens were crap and kind of expensive before Iphone, so they never took off.
However, while it is also possible to provide the same 3D viewing experience on home televisions and other home display devices through use of specially-encoded images and 3D viewing glasses, such technology has not yet caught on at least in part because many viewers don't want to always wear 3D glasses to watch television in their living rooms and dens.
The text you quote is simply the background. What is important here is the abstract and the detailed description. The background simply tells in what field this is usually used, how it historically has been used and what consumer opinion has been on that.So wait, does this device have to do with wearing glasses/Aiden Pierce's hat or not? Because a lot of the images have someone wearing glasses, but then there is this line from the filing:
But then how would they provide smell and simulated wind without glasses?? So it must be?
I want this.
Gimme a couple little IR LEDs that I can clip to the corners of my glasses, and a Wii Remote camera I can stick on top of my TV and we are Good To Go. Even if it's only for graphical flourish, I would love to have something like this in games. Dumb little things like this feel more "next-gen" than anything else to me.
Future complains in nintendo threads:
"Ugh, I don't want fucken eye controls In my games Nintendo. Stop making me look at the screen and stare, I just want to use a regular controller!"
Touch screens were gimmicks too, before DS.
Guess we know now what Phillips will patent 18 months from now.
But... But... Nintendo hates glasses as they said when they released the 3DS (for a hot minute).
You are served by other companies then.All I want from Nintendo is a quality gaming box, the Wii U Pro Controller and a good amount of content.
No need for gimmicks.
Doesn't Samsung already have a patent for eye tracking as a feature with the Galaxy phones?
They DID do this with the original DS. Forget the name of the puzzle game for DSi, it was only released in Japan.
The thing is, such a display is much better/believable than stereoscopic 3D is because we generally aren't very close to the objects being shown in our displays. You can layer the technologies together and get even better results of course.

It's an old video, but this seems like a good time to bring it up.
Surprised Nintendo didn't try something like this sooner, seems like a cool effect. At this point though, I'd probably want them to just skip it and go straight to more of a VR approach.
Sorry for the thread bump, but i cant help being excited over this, just think playing trauma center with this thing, i mean that would blown my mind, the gameplay oportunities is endless.
Trauma Center indeed.
Oh...
Yeah.. Imagine that...
T____T
Is it a trend to bump old thread? seems like a lot of old threads being bumped.
Shroud Possible to filtering out the real world by using a shroud
I am sure Sony already showed a prototype of this 2 years ago or so, am I remembering wrong?
That was gaze direction rather than viewpoint position iirc.
