MIT hacked a Xbox Kinect to create a reflection-free camera

When taking photos, whether it be of sights or people, sometimes shooting through a window is unavoidable, and that means there’s probably going to be glare or reflections. Turns out, researchers at MIT’s Media Lab are looking to address this, as their Camera Culture Group is developing a camera that can take photos through glass without any reflections. For their latest project they used the Xbox One’s Kinect motion sensor and camera, taking advantage of its depth sensor.
