Big Billion Day Was a Flipkart Scam? Epic Fail or Mega Success

Yesterday online retailer Flipkart‘s Big Billion Day created a havoc on internet and social media. Ultimately website crashed many times during the day. I tried to buy a couple of products early in the morning but was unable to do so. Later in the day, many products ran out of stock.

The buzz created soon turned out to be an unpleasant one and the website got criticized big time on social media. There were problems of limited stock, error messages and user felt like being cheated when they came to know that same product was priced at a lower price a few days ago. Increasing the prices and then offering huge discounts is a general practice of online retailers and the users got annoyed when they found same products at a lower price on Snapdeal, Amazon and other websites. Ultimately it was labelled as a flipkart scam on social media.

What is RoomAlive? The Next Big Thing in Gaming from Microsoft

RoomAlive is capable of transforming any room into a giant playing arena. It is an extension of Microsoft’s previous IllumiRoom research project. It uses and combines Kinect and projectors to create a unique augmented reality experience in a room. You can interact with the objects and play it. It uses six Kinect depth cameras for depth sensing.

RoomAlive tracks your position continuously in the real time. Anytime you touch a surface, it responds and acts like a touchscreen. This is possible because the projectors are knowing your positions. It uses parallax technology i.e. using 2D projections to look like 3D projections. Microsoft has also enabled a technology named Mano-a-mano i.e. two people can enjoy a unique perspective in the same room.roomalive microsft virtual gaming
