HoloDesk - Direct 3D Interactions with a Situated See-Through Display

HoloDesk is a novel interactive system combining an optical
see through display and Kinect camera to create the illusion
that users are directly interacting with 3D graphics. A virtual
image of a 3D scene is rendered through a half silvered mir-
ror and spatially aligned with the real-world for the viewer.
Users easily reach into an interaction volume displaying the
virtual image. This allows the user to literally get their hands
into the virtual display. A novel real-time algorithm for rep-
resenting hands and other physical objects, which are sensed
by the Kinect inside this volume, allows physically realistic
interaction between real and virtual 3D objects.

#7 It would be much more useful as an open source project. Then people could actually modify and extend it. Development is very fast, if instead of a small paid group, few thousands of enthusiasts work on it.

I agree with you fundamentally that open source is a good idea. However, now a days projects like these costs money so I still think we need to respect corporations right to their invention. On another note, I think we still need to see the real benefits from open source instead of for example an operative system that is only used by a few number of users compared to the whole.
