Cool Bei Yang Video Demo From GDC Online

This is actually pretty cool!  Bei Yang from Walt Disney Imagineering did a convincing demonstration that with the help of stereoscopic 3D technology, the illusion that the viewer is in the same room as what is being shown on a 3D display can seem very real.  It's a good thing that MTBS had the benefit of a stereoscopic 3D camera to capture the magic.

Isn't this just a cheap rip-off of Johnny Lee's DesktopVR?

Bei Yang credited Johny Lee during his presentation. He was just demonstrating a concept at GDC.

I seen this kind of stereoscopic technique before. How was it done at the confernce though? Is there a camera to know where the person is? This is exactly what auto stereoscopic displays are going to be like I hope. The studios just need to revert their camera signals into directx live motion video. And maybe add some angled mirrors beside the lenses to acheive a far out view.

This could be automated with project Natal technology (Kinect).
That's what it's already done in CAVE using optical and high quality EM tracking.
