Fujitsu's 3D Motion Software Turns Your Webcam Into a Kinect The Escapist Previously, 3D motion detection was only possible with specialized equipment, but Fujitsu claims its software will work on a standard webcam.
The new and improved Kinect was one of the only positives people took from Microsoft's Xbox One reveal event, and Fujitsu may have just made it obsolete with the unveiling of a revolutionary 3D motion detection software that works with a standard PC webcam.

Frank Rose: "It's never been easy to market an indie film—but in a blockbuster universe, getting people to care about a low-budget production devoid of stars and lacking the enormous, built-in fan base of The Dark Knight or The Hunger Games can seem all but impossible."
Frank says: "Your community are those people who want your film to succeed as much as you do, and are willing to do anything and everything they can do to help it get there. They are the people who are willing to spend their Saturday afternoon putting up posters for you in their local towns. They are the ones who can’t wait to meet others who share a similar passion for your project. The real value of community is that these are the people who will tell ten others to go see your movie. And there’s nothing more powerful (and inexpensive) than leveraging the passion of your community."

How Would You Edit a Timeless Movie Into a 2-Minute One? The Atlantic "I called Bonnie and posed her the question what would a 60 to 90 second spot for a Criterion movie look like in the 21st century," he told me.

From the trailer, the film looks to be of extremely high quality, and it stars Sharlto Copley (District 9), with music score from composer Bear McCreary (Battlestar Galactica, Eureka).
And while this is a sci-fi flick, the makers of “Europa Report” say they have steeped it in real science. JPL scientists acted as advisers on the film, and it’s been called “One of the most thrilling and realistic depictions of deep-space exploration since ‘Moon’ and ’2001: A Space Odyssey’” by Space.com
