Using Microsoft Kinect Hacks for Architectural Modeling and Realtime Motion Capture

This could be quite useful for troubleshooting problems on-site during construction as well. I can imagine a contractor scanning an area in question, enabling the architect to open a 3D model of the structure from a computer back at the office, and being able to rotate and orbit around the model to better understand it’s context, then suggesting solutions by mapping additional 3D information into the model, or folding it into the project’s Building Information Model and doing a differential comparison to find possible solutions.

The Architecture of OpenSim (machinima)

Sims at a fraction of the cost? No prim size limits? Saving and restoring entire sims to and from my own hard drive? OpenSim is where its at, and its improving at a pretty impressive rate. With the likes of IBM, Intel, Microsoft and even Linden Lab itself making contributions toward strengthening OpenSim, it certainly seems to have a chance at making it to prime time if it hasn’t already. We’re now offering 6 sims at $150/month on the OpenSim Architecture Grid…
