This Holographic Microsoft Cortana Concept is Insane!
Author → Mr. Mikey » Date → May 12, 2017
A web developer going by the name of “Unt1tled” just posted video proof of the holographic concept he created using Microsoft’s Cortana engine.
At first glance, it just looks like a simple 2d projection. However, upon closer inspection you see the mounted camera that tracks your face and projects that 2d image in perspective form!
On his blog post, he covers more detail on what he used and the process that made this happen.
So, this a Pepper’s Ghost hologram that uses Windows 10’s native Cortana experience. It’s all powered by a Windows 10 device with 4GB of RAM and a built-in Arduino used for controlling the platform lights. There’s a portable USB monitor on the top that reflects on 3 panes of mirror glass. The enclosure itself is a custom design I modeled. I then 3D printed each part of the assembly in PLA. There’s also an omnidirectional microphone that sits on top of the unit, and a decent mini speaker built into Cortana’s pedestal on the base.
The software it runs is essentially in two parts: A Unity 3D app that presents and animates Cortana in three different camera angles and communicates to a second app: a proxy service that parses data going to and from the native Cortana web service. The proxy app renders the HTML from Cortana result queries which is then presented in the Unity app. It also features real-time face tracking with the front-facing camera which moves the rendered camera perspective relative to a single viewer’s head position – this makes it look a bit more 3 dimensional when facing it. The app also controls an LED strip surrounding the edge of the platform. – Unt1tled
It’s fair to say that this guy has an amazing journey ahead of him as he perfects this concept and hopefully brings it to the masses!
