At Keytree labs we have been working hard at for SAP Demojam 2013. We are putting forward two ideas and our first one.
HANADeck is virtual reality experience powered by the Oculus Rift, Leap Motion and Microsoft Kinect. This means that a user can walk around and manipulate with their hands a virtual reality space. For this use case we are using the National Grid pylon database. A service engineer can inspect the data associated with any tower on the network remotely.
In a competition with over 300 innovation entries at the Innovation World Cup held during the Wearable Technology Conference in Munich 2013 CEO Vision won the Gaming and Lifestyle category and narrowly missed out finishing runner up to the overall winner Recon Instruments. This is a great achievement.
CEO Vision generation 2 is a completely new build of CEO Vision with a vast array of improvements. The system now provides a fully interactive, precise working environment.
Yesterday we showed Store Trek at the IAB Engage. To see details about the event and pictures from the great speakers click here
The supermarket where you never have to queue
At Keytree we have created a new application called Store Trek that delivers a 3D shopping experience in your home using the microsoft Kinect.
Powered by K-Motion Store technology. This is the first incarnation of a 3D store that crosses the divide between in store and online shopping. Online is quick and convenient and products are recommended to you but the experience is not very engaging or immersive. In store you can see entire product ranges but they are not tailored to you, you have to travel to the store and get stuck in the queue at checkout. Store Trek takes the benefits of in store by delivering tailored virtual shelves in a virtual store layout driven by a personalisation engine you would have with an online store.
The kinect allows you to walk round the TV with the shelves automatically adjusting to give you the rich 3D experience. Rendering tens of thousands of products from real retailers in realtime you can purchase items by reaching out towards the shelf and the product will be added directly to your basket.
This eCommerce solution based in the cloud could be used to shop for your groceries from Tesco or items from Amazon or Ebay.

I have been the lead developer on CEO Vision. It combines the Microsoft Kinect, Augmented Reality with the SAP HANA. Check out the website to see more about the technology (Click here to visit microsite)
This video stars Nic Doodson and myself. We demo the object recognition, face tracking and face recognition along with the Microsoft Kinect to allow users to literally reach out and touch their HANA powered reality.
