Star Trek AR conferencing comes true with iPad and Kinect.

I’ve been showcasing the power of Kinect and how well it is being furnished with innovation. But this time, the Star Trek like conferencing system has come true with Kinect and iPad. The brilliant men at LAAN Labs has found a way to connect Kinect and iPad, and bring Augmented 3D image recording, that has been recorded using Kinect to play on iPad.

The video below shows the working of this project. The guy in this video shows off a Kinect that captures the 3D data of him and this data is transferred wirelessly to the iPad 2. This is making use of the String Augmented Reality SDK for iOS. This is very similar to the Cisco’s Telepresence.

If you are new to this, String Augmented Reality SDK for iOS enables Augmented Reality to iOS devices. It renders 3D objects in real world (It just augments). The SDK is really simple and easy to use. You can grab a copy of the SDK here.

Let me see if I can do something with this project. 🙂
