This looks ridiculous. “People on opposite side of the cube can dance
together.” Goddamn nerds.
actually i take that back im really unimpressed because this is just a
kinect game projected onto acrylic. just four square screens, this is
literally a weekend project in processing or quartz composer, and cut the
acrylic with a laser at my local maker shop. the rest is at best buy.
microsoft this is literally highschool level art and technology.

Microsoft Cube otra de las cosas en la que el Kinects es el protagonista.
Combinando cuatro Kinects con cinco ordenadores, cinco proyectores y otras
tantas superficies de proyección, los ingenieros de Microsoft han creado
toda una instalación de arte para el festival de arte y música Decibel.

You really should bring Kinect to Windows, that should be where Kinect
truly shines, if with VR that’s even better, Kinect shouldn’t just be known
as a gaming accessories. it can change a lot of things.
Microsoft construyó un cubo gigantesco para gaming con Kinect. Vean el
video
Hahaha. Sorry, but the way they portrayed this in the video is just absurd.
Way overhyped, to the point of hilarity. Feels a bit like an April Fools
joke.
So like 20 people worked on this ridiculous project?
Okay the thing that annoys me a lot about commenters on the Microsoft page
is that it’s not a big deal that Microsoft bought Minecraft I mean what did
they do wrong? Only did was buy Minecraft it’s not like they’re going to
ruin it or anything Minecraft is girl the same they’re even updating up to
1.8.1 is not a big deal peopleit’s not the end of the world! You’ll live
it’s just Minecraft got bought you shouldn’t be mad at Microsoft Mojang
sold Minecraft to Microsoft and there’s nothing wrong with that!
This must be a joke. Typical Microsoft bullshit, waste of time. No
practical applications for consumer.
GUYS, ITS USELESS. MICROSOFT BUYING MINECRAFT WAS A GOOD THING FOR NOTCH.
AS HE SAID, HE CANNOT HANDLE ALL THE HATE AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUCH A
LARGE GAME. I’m not a fan of Microsoft. But if they tried to give it back,
Markus wouldn’t take it. Also as he said, people worship him like a god.
HE’S NOT A GOD. And if Microsoft got rid of it, It’d just be floating out
there, until eventually someone takes the responsibility of a large game.
so it goes…. beautifully
Voilà ce qui arrive quand on combine des “kinects” et des PCs, un énorme
cube, mais à quoi ça sert ? Ce cube permet de dancer à travers un système
de projection. Il sera exposé au festival de la musique et d’art de
Seattle. Celui-ci ne sera pas vendu par la société de Redmond en revanche !
Ce cube fonctionne avec un système de projection qui utilise 5 ordinateurs,
5 projecteurs, et 4 capteurs Kinect pour créer une soirée de danse
interactive.
Microsoft give minecraft back to mojang
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I understand now why MSFT is getting layoffs, this is a useless waste of
time and money. It doesn’t even wrap images around the corners like you’d
think it would, it’s just 4 projectors with a stupid Kinect game.
I hope Satya Nadella fired off each useless untalented person in this
video.
Basically it does nothing -_-
star trek hologram in Alpha form.
I dig that this cool and everything, but what’s the point of this? Dancing?
I can do it without a cube, or kinect.
I think this technology has many applications. One application i imagined
is that a person on one side creatures a 3d model and person on the other
side can see the other side of the same model. So its like 3d model is
inside the cube and all 4 people can see different angles of it.
Introducing the Cube: Microsoft’s interactive art installation, unveiled
this week at Seattle’s Decibel Festival, a celebration of electronic music,
visual art and new media. Outside, it is 4-feet square. Inside, it is
powered by five computers and four Kinects working in concert.
that is beautiful and awesome technology you got there :O
Nice try Microsoft, but I’m still not buying the Kinect with my Xbox One.

Кинектический куб от Microsoft
Интерактивная арт-инсталляция засветилась на фестивале Decibel в Сиэтле.
Вам не с кем потанцевать этим вечером? Потанцуйте с нашим кубом. И друзей
зовите, куба на всех хватит. Вот только дизайн вызывает в памяти образ
первой компьютерной мышки – такой же угловатый, да еще и какие-то черные и
совсем неэстетичные “скрепы” по бокам.
Похоже, Microsoft всерьез задумалась о том, куда же теперь девать ту кучу
“Кинектов”, которые теперь не обязательно приобретать в комплекте с
приставками. Думала, думала и придумала. Кубический девайс со стороной в
четыре фута (примерно 122 см) покоится на подставке, где и установлена
техническая начинка. Оная состоит из пяти компьютеров , пяти проекторов и
четырех сенсоров Kinect v2. Каждая из сторон способна отслеживать жесты
одного-трех человек: желающие развлечься становятся перед гранями, и куб
начинает реагировать на их движения и пульсировать в такт музыке.
Участников действа можно наблюдать внутри многогранника. Так что куб
способен выполнять роль своеобразного портала на танцевальной вечеринке.
За разработкой проекта присматривает генеральный директор MS Сатья Наделла
(Satya Nadella), который считает, что сейчас самое время привлечь к кубу
внимание творческого и хакерского коммьюнити.

so interesting they could sell that to an art museum and that can be an
interactive piece of art in which visitors can play around with it
