There really isn’t a word yet to describe what this is, and what’s also interesting here. The more you try to describe it, you begin to spoil it for anyone who hasn’t experienced it yet. Virtual Experience, Electronic Experiences? I don’t know, neither are great.

Messing around with 3D video
Short video from graphics researcher Oliver Kreylos demonstrates what watching a Kinect-powered 3D video with a real-time 3D capture of yourself would currently look like – video embedded below:
A “recursive” video of sorts, showing a recording of myself watching a previously-made recording of myself building a C-60 Buckminsterfullerene using the Nanotech Construction Kit. Both recordings were done in the 3-Kinect 3D video capture space in IDAV’s VR lab, using a head-tracked Oculus Rift DK1 and a tracked input device (both times).
This is what I imagine robots like Asimo see when they are “looking”. Even though I’m sure that’s totally wrong.
