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. 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. In NeverMind, you play a therapist delving through the subconscious of various patients, looking for clues to their trauma.
#Intel realsense 3d camera app drivers
(You’ll need to download the camera drivers separately, all from the Intel RealSense page.) But that SDK contains all the files you’ll need for everything from gesture control to speech recognition. 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. A USB cable snakes out the back to your PC. (Remember them?) It flops over the top of your monitor or laptop, using a stiff hinge to balance and secure it.
Intel provided PCWorld with the original RealSense 3D camera, also known as the Front F200, which carries the label from its designer, Creative Labs. The hardware might be mature, but the apps are few, far between, and in some cases not fully formed. They can either be discrete cameras, or built into laptops and tablets.īut like the Kinect for Windows, this is very early in the game.
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. It not only includes a video camera, but an infrared projector and laser to better intuit the real world. 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.
