What we can do if the screen in videoconference rooms can turn into an interactive display? With Kinect camera and sound sensors, We explore how expanding a system’s understanding of spatially calibrated depth and audio alongside a live video stream can generate semantically rich three-dimensional pixels containing information regarding their material properties and location. Four features are implemented, which are “Talking to Focus”, “Freezing Former Frames”, “Privacy Zone” and “Spacial Augmenting Reality”.

The Dishmaker is a project from the MIT Media Lab’s former ‘Counter Intelligence Group’ by Leonardo Bonanni. He describes it as ‘…a new kind of appliance that makes cups, bowls and plates on demand and recycles them when you’re done’. Check out the video below for an overview of the system.
