Pokemon Go is huge right now, using a mobile device's camera and seemingly placing objects in the real world through your screen. It takes mobile gaming to a whole new level, but does this stop here? Researchers are actually developing something called Interactive Dynamic Video, which allows you to interact with your surroundings themselves, not just place something into them. For example, the camera would see and send an output image onto your screen, which you could then manipulate. You could destroy bridges, burn trees, move items, etc. with objects or characters in your game. This would take games like Pokemon Go to a whole new level, and revolutionize the gaming market!
How does this work? The program itself records tiny vibrations in the object itself, and it can predict movement of different magnitudes! This, although still undergoing the path to perfection, is already highly applicable in Engineering when determining movement of bridges, etc. and the arts (for me, preferably, gaming). Get ready as these technologies are finished and released in mass!
