Augmented reality KinectFusion ?

Augmented reality KinectFusion ?

KinectFusion, a research project that lets users generate high-quality 3-D models in real time using a standard $100 Kinect.


The technology allows objects, people, and entire rooms to be scanned in 3-D at a fraction of the normal cost. Imagine true-to-life avatars and objects being imported into virtual environments. Or a crime scene that can be re-created within seconds. Visualizing a new sofa in your living room and other virtual interior design tricks could become remarkably simple.
