Strolls with Miku now a close reality

Using a mixture of technologies such as augmented reality with Kinect fusion and a few others, a nicovideo user has succeeded in using augmented reality without markers to do a tech demo of getting Miku to do strolls in the park with him.

The video shows how the user takes Miku on a walk in the park and usage of gestures to interact with Miku in his house.

The user uses a Asus Xtion(Kinect like device) and a pair of Wrap920 VR video glasses for the full immersion effect.

Will home-brew programmers take one more step into making 2D characters a reality?  Share with us your views.
