saw this article: Without apps, Intel's RealSense camera is a puzzle
Intel’s RealSense is actually a family of different products: there’s the RealSense “Snapshot,” a camera mounted into tablets like the Dell Venue Pro 8000, which can be used for real-world distance measuring. And then there’s the RealSense 3D Camera (Rear R200) a rear-mounted 3D camera that looks purpose-built for a Surface or similar tablet. But that isn’t available yet, Intel says.

RealSense is Intel’s “eye” into the world, a depth camera much like the Kinect camera that was designed for (and rejected by buyers of) the Microsoft Xbox One. It not only includes a video camera, but an infrared projector and laser to better intuit the real world. At the Game Developers Conference, CES, and the like, Intel has showed off a number of applications that take advantage of the RealSense cameras, from “scanning” your face onto a 3D avatar, to games that take advantage of gestures made with your hands. They can either be discrete cameras, or built into laptops and tablets.

But like the Kinect for Windows, this is very early in the game. The hardware might be mature, but the apps are few, far between, and in some cases not fully formed.

Intel provided PCWorld with the original RealSense 3D camera, also known as the Front F200, which carries the label from its designer, Creative Labs. (Remember them?) It flops over the top of your monitor or laptop, using a stiff hinge to balance and secure it. A USB cable snakes out the back to your PC. It normally costs about $100.

To really take advantage of all the intelligence built into the RealSense camera, however, you’ll need to download a rather sizeable software development kit, totaling 1.3GB. But that SDK contains all the files you’ll need for everything from gesture control to speech recognition. (You’ll need to download the camera drivers separately, all from the Intel RealSense page.)

Intel also provided alpha codes to NeverMind, a fascinating psychological horror concept game from Flying Mollusk that taps into the camera’s ability to “read” your pulse by examining your face with the infrared camera. Like Inception or The Cell, NeverMind puts you in the shoes of a therapist injected into the mind of the patient, where you root out buried traumas represented by photographs.

There’s one catch: the RealSense camera can read your fear, and the game ramps up the difficulty the more scared or anxious you become: increasing the frequency of spikes, for example, or overlaying “static” on your field of view, making it more difficult to see. The idea is for you to learn how to manage stress, both in the game and the real world.

The concept is an interesting one, playing off of a thesis authored by the game’s creative director, Erin Reynolds. Producer Michael Annetta explained that the original concept called for using a chest strap to track the user’s heart rate, but the RealSense camera was far less intrusive.

I certainly don’t want to imply that Intel’s RealSense is dead or not worthwhile—not by any means. Intel did us the courtesy of providing us hardware that few actually have. But Intel clearly wanted journalists to walk away thinking that developers need to get on board and support the platform. We’ll agree. If RealSense is going to become mainstream, we need some mainstream uses for it.

dell-inspiron-15-5000-w-g02.jpg


from the picture, i see that the Dell Inspiron 15 is really elegant looking. The pricing is also pocket-friendly is powerful enough for my daily usage.

15" is alittle big. What's the weight like ?

From what's been mentioned so far, Intel's RealSense Camera is superior to that of Microsoft's Kinect. I rarely placed with Xbox games then, but for the few occasions I did, the sensor tracking of the Kinect felt very wonky and inaccurate. I just hope that the RealSense camera has precise accuracy in terms of tracking. Can only find out if I get to test it :s22:

Kinect abit lag. Intel RealSense Camera 3D i have yet to try out cannot comment.

Yes, personally most ppl have not test out the new Intel RealSense Camera, from what we read it supposedly is better. We need to test it on games, applications to have a better picture on its accuracy.

Will Dell or Intel or Microsoft throw some samples for HWZers to play and review it ? I think we will be able to market faster than anyone else =:p

Some comedy here.. :s13:

One smell gesture



Imagine a computer that understands your command before your finger touches the keyboard, or without using voice control to communicate. It can be operated not only with a swipe through the air or a wave, but also through a smile or a wink. The gesture control technology of Intel RealSense means your humble laptop can recognise your hand and head movements, and even facial expressions. Taking interaction with a machine one step closer to having that robot friend you’ve always dreamed about...

Changing Focus



Hindsight is a wonderful thing - and it's now available in tech form. The Intel® RealSense™ allows you to realign photographs to your specific desires, shifting focus between subjects in the frame. Got a friend who hates the photo? Not a problem, sink them into the background. Want to focus on the birthday girl? Done - just apply and re-order to your hearts desire.

Going The Distance



Ever wondered how far you've got to jump? The Intel® RealSense™ 3D Camera R200 uses cutting edge depth perception technology to allow you to measure depth and distance using only a photograph. The incredible tech allows you to take a snap, and measure the distance between objects in the frame. Perfect for budding designers or amateur stunt riders.

The Future Of Gaming. Starring You



PC games in development are incorporating a RealSense standalone camera peripheral, meaning gamers’ movements can be tracked, with the scenes adjusting to the direction the gamer turns his or head. And considering the 3DMe app already allows you to scan your face and add it to 3D models, it won’t be long before gamers can literally see themselves in action. Download the 3DMe app for free here.

No One Can Take It Away From You



Hackers can crack passwords as easily as we forget ours. The True Key function allows you to truly personalise the way you unlock your device, by having your face as your password (maybe go for the fingerprint option if you have a twin). This innovative security system ensures your gadget will be useless to a thief. Although you could let them know that the range of products that feature Intel RealSense are surprisingly quite affordable…

The Possibilities Are Endless



With vending machines that can guess your sex and age, shop mirrors that change the colour of your outfit and touch-free interfaces in hospitals around the corner, Intel® RealSense™ will change your life. You'll be using 3D printers, creating art by swishing an imaginary paintbrush in thin air, measuring distances in pictures, and navigating your device with holograms. But we all know what you want to do more than anything is to have a go operating a drone, equipped with a 3D camera, which you navigate remotely through a forest. Throw that selfie stick away. Now.
