LAS VEGAS — Jan. 5, 2015. During the CES 2015, Kolor releases a new version of its Kolor Eyes free 360° video player. This version (1.4 beta 1) is compatible with Intel newest technology: RealSense.
RealSense by Intel
RealSense is the new generation of 3D camera that will soon be included in the Windows notebooks, 2 in 1s, and All-in-Ones (AIOs) from Acer, Asus, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Lenovo, and NEC. This new technology is based on three little cameras that enable the device to “see” depth like human eyes.
So what about Kolor Eyes? You can now change your field of view using the RealSense cameras! Simply move your hand in front of the sensor and you’ll be able to choose the direction you want to look at and also zoom in/out.
Improved performance with the Oculus Rift
We worked a lot to improve the performance on Windows with the Oculus Rift. No more slowing down, especially if you have a recent desktop graphic card! Additionally, Kolor Eyes will automatically switch to Oculus mode when an Oculus is detected.
