Many faces to create new ones
AKB48 is a japonese Idol group. They have made a buzz about a new member of the group... But this new member was entirely made from face of the existing member !
Here the synthetized face :
Ok it's look almost planar... but it give a nice result.
Here the Making Of :
If you want make your own Idol :

Official Microsoft Kinect SDK is out
"The Kinect for Windows SDK beta is a starter kit for applications developers that includes APIs, sample code, and drivers. This SDK enables the academic research and enthusiast communities to create rich experiences by using Microsoft Xbox 360 Kinect sensor technology on computers running Windows 7."
Source : Microsoft
They have put focus on skeletal recognition and tracking. As sample you will have a game... and more
Official samples:
"Skeletal Viewer—Capturing Data with the NUI API (C++ and C#)
The Kinect sensor includes two cameras: one delivers depth information and the other delivers color data. The NUI API enables applications to access and manipulate this data. The SkeletalViewer sample uses the NUI API to render data from the Kinect sensor’s cameras as images on the screen. The managed sample uses WPF to render captured images, and the native application uses DirectX.
ShapeGame—Creating a Game with Audio and Skeletal Tracking
Displays the tracked skeletons of two players together with shapes falling from the sky. Players can control the shapes by moving and speaking commands.
Audio Capture Raw (C++)
The Kinect sensor’s audio component is a four-element microphone array. The AudioCaptureRaw sample uses the Windows Audio Session API (WASAPI) to capture the raw audio stream from the Kinect sensor’s microphone array and write it to a .wav file.
MicArrayEchoCancellation—Acoustic Echo Cancellation, Beam Forming, and Source Localization (C++)
The primary way for C++ applications to access the Kinect sensor’s microphone array is through the MSRKinectAudio DirectX Media Object (DMO). The MSRKinectAudio DMO supports all standard microphone array functionality, and adds support for beamforming and source localization. The MicArrayEchoCancellation sample shows how to use the KinectAudio DMO as a DirectShow® source to access the Kinect sensor’s microphone array. This sample uses acoustic echo cancellation to record a high-quality audio stream and beamforming and source localization to determine the selected beam and the direction of the sound source.
MFAudioFilter—Media Foundation Audio Filter (C++)
Shows how to capture an audio stream from the Kinect sensor’s microphone array by using the MSRKinectAudio DMO in filter mode in a Windows Media Foundation topology.
RecordAudio—Recording an Audio Stream and Monitoring Direction (C#)
Demonstrates how to capture an audio stream from the Kinect sensor’s microphone array and monitor the currently selected beam and sound source direction.
Speech—Recognizing Voice Commands (C#)
Demonstrates how to use the Kinect sensor’s microphone array with the Microsoft.Speech API to recognize voice commands."

Hello Read/Write World!
The Read/Write the world project have innovative ideas :
Quoted from http://readwriteworld.cloudapp.net/?p=35
Quoted from http://readwriteworld.cloudapp.net/?p=35
"Today we’re unveiling a major new project in Bing. Technically it’s an indexing, unification, and connection of the world’s geo-linked media. Informally, it’s the magic of:
- Seeing your photos automatically connected to others;
- Being able to simply create immersive experiences from your or your friends photos, videos, and panoramas;
- “Fixing” the world, when the official imagery of your street is out of date;
- Visually mapping your business, your favorite park, or your real estate for everyone to see;
- Understanding the emergent information from the density and tagging of media.
The Read/Write World has 3 pillars: Clear Content Rights; Uniform Access and Open Source Viewers; and Real-Time Geo-Services."

Let see what a TV could render in your room.
It's Augmented Reality and they use marker.
Only limited to Iphones....
It's cool that they show the case that do not work. (Pattern is not detected in those condition)

Real Time Spherical panorama on Iphone
"Today, we're introducing the official Photosynth app which lets you capture amazing panoramas of your favorite places to share with your friends and even the world with Bing Maps. (The app is currently available via iTunes and will be available on iOS devices later today.) Photosynth’s interactive panoramas allow you to look left, right, up and down, letting you capture and view more of the places you visit.
Using the latest computer vision technology, the Photosynth app makes capturing panoramas fun and engaging, while creating sharp, high-resolution results. With the app, you can process, view, and store your panoramas directly on your device. Then, share them in a variety of ways, including to Facebook as images or as interactive panoramas (hosted for free) on Photosynth.net.
