For OP's information:
1. There is no such thing as 3D camera. To achieve the "3d camera" effect you need more than 1 actual camera. Cameras takes pictures (motion pictures), and pictures as everyone should be aware of are 2D not 3D. For example the image you see on the screen when playing a 3D game it's 2D. Being able to rotate your character in-game makes the game 3D, but the actual image you see it's still 2D.
2. "However, even if the room is completely dark and the camera in Natal is unable to see anything, the 3D camera continues to function."
Images are created by the light that reflects on objects. With no light theres no image. This is teached in primary school I think. |
wow, for something that doesn't exist, a simple google search sure brings up a lot of results of 3d camera's... :)
Although, you do have a point, as 3d camera's all have more than 1 lens and usually are capturing images at different depth to create the 3d effect. So I don't see how natel can operate in the dark, but I'm not saying it isn't possible. After all, there are all sorts of ways for camera's to capture ambient light in low light situations, like night vision and what not.

So you're telling me that I'm wrong and then that I'm right ? :) The key is in your words: "3D effect" which is very different from real 3D. Real 3D camera actually means multiple cameras placed around the subject so they can capture plenty of angles.
In the second point you talk about low light while the discussion was about, let me quote, "complete dark".
On the other hand, thanks for agreeing with me :)

you were wrong that there is no such thing as 3d camera's, you were right about natal not working well in the dark. The point I was making is that it would actually be pretty hard to be completely dark in a house. So there will always be some light, even when the lights are off, and there are plenty of ways out there for camera's to see in the dark.

Doesn't matter because Natal generates its own light via pulses of infrared. Of course the RGB camera would not work, but that is not what allows the hardware to detect movement anyway.
