We've seen fancy
augmented reality projection before, but we've rarely been able to take it home -- now, it seems Microsoft's
hack-friendly Kinect can bring the same trick to the consumer realm. Elliot Woods took the idea that Kinect can
map a three-dimensional space and twisted it to his own devious ends -- that is, throwing traditional
Street Fighter fireball blasts, complete with the sound effect. What's impressive here, though, isn't the size of his
hadouken, but rather the light it's made of -- each is a virtual dynamic light source casting light on the room's
real objects
to create
virtual shadows on the surfaces that stick out. Sounds lovely, but if you can't wrap your head around all that, you'll find all the hot fireball action you need in the video after the break at roughly the five minute mark.
