Scientists Propose Kinect-like 3D Camera for Cellphones

[Guest]

Gesture recognition is widely seen as a technology that could succeed touch input on a variety of computing devices, but the only successful mainstream device we have seen in this area is Microsoft's Kinect.

first thing that comes to mind are a lot of 3D middle finger pictures.

3D without multiple cameras? I like that.

I was getting the feeling they were gonna start making phones with four cameras--two cameras for 3D in each direction, which is getting really stupid sounding.

Infrared laser = no color. Am I wrong?

With only one color, you wouldn't be able to figure out the exact colors of something, i believe. However, this isn't a technology to determine color, just depth. If you, basically, lay the picture over the depth information, the photo is 3D, without the need of another camera, or expensive hardware. Another method to do the same thing. I like this method however.
