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.
