October 2011: Richard Newcombe has won best paper prize at ISMAR 2011 for the paper on the KinectFusion system he developed while interning at Microsoft Research Cambridge last summer. The paper is now available online (see our publications tab), and check out the video via the MSR project page or on youtube. This system has been highly touted by Microsoft, heavily featured in the tech press and demoed live by various high-level people; including, incredibly, Bill Gates himself in a recent talk he gave at the University of Washington (starting at about 12 minutes into this video).
