Hi there!

Using the free and open source Minko engine for 3D rendering with an holographic style and a Leap Motion as a complete hand tracking system (palm + each finger position/orientation), we were able to mimic Tony’s famous toy. The only thing we missed was an actual holographic display. So we used an Oculus Rift to create an awesome virtual reality experience where users think they are actually facing the hologram in a virtual room.

 

Here you go for the full post + vidéo:

This is all done using native C++11 code then cross-compiled into HTML5/JS/WebGL code thanks to Minko's native integration of Mozilla's Emscripten. Thanks to Minko it was pretty easy to develop this cool hologram effect and plug the Oculus/Leap in!

 

Mozilla and Chrome are working on bringing VR natively in the browser, so we will likely be able to do this without an Oculus plugin very soon! How cool is that?!

 

What do you think about the setup?

No comments?

Personally I think this is awesome!

 

Are you using the latest oculus rift dev kit or the previous one for the demonstration?

I have been debating whether I should wait for the final commercial release of the oculus or buy the current dev kit.
