The Global Network Details
University of California, Davis researcher Oliver Kreylos has imported himself into virtual reality with an Oculus Rift headset and three Xbox Kinect cameras. Low resolution and prone to glitches, the device is still an early prototype. The three Kinects - peripherals for Microsoft's Xbox - are positioned in an equilateral triangle to accurately capture the subject, whose image is then beamed into Facebook's Oculus Rift headset. Mr Kreylos is able to control the camera in such a way that he can see himself in both a first and third person perspective. Unlike an ordinary 2D camera, the Kinect is equipped with a 3D camera, which provides the missing bits of information necessary for 3D reconstruction that a regular camera does not have.
