The camera of the future is not at CES — it's at Eyebeam, an art and technology incubator in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City, where two artists-in-residence are currently shooting a documentary that's probably better described as interactive software than a feature film.
Ever since their first meeting at a coding conference in Pittsburgh, James George and Jonathan Minard have been perfecting their experimental filmmaking technique, which uses a DSLR + Kinect hybrid image capture process in conjunction with custom editing software. The results are two-fold: a distinct set of stuttered images that can be spatially manipulated by the viewer, and a free dev kit that allows anyone with the right equipment to play along — like Hollywood 3D's dirtier, open-source cousin made into a video game.
