It doesnt just scan for “humanoid” form. You can point it at a dog and you will get a different stick figure resembling a dog.

[@KabegamiTheGreat]

@@79Sarwar it does scan for a humanoid form, its not programmed to scan for anything else but a human. A dog would be picked up as a human on all fours. Also ghe kinect is known to have been unreliable in picking up stuff. So people think its perfect for ghost hunting.

[@Cynfulpleasures]

I dunno? Watching the YT channel “Really Haunted”’s Kinect video’s, I fond they’re very compelling. One specifically for me, published May 10 this year named “OMG This Just Happened To Me In My House” - the figure that knocks the phone out of his hand. Really compelling in my opinion. ✌️

[@barxmorOnYT]

Bruh I literally just watched that a few minutes ago, the channel is called "really haunted" and checked the description on what camera he uses then searched it

[@andreaamplified]

Really Haunted has the camera still. I knowing this would make a tripod if ghost hunting to keep the camera still.

[@michaelparanormal]

Yes i watched his channel and somethings that happen are prob unexplained with one video in his bedroom while he was sleeping with Kinect and a stick figure was pulling over his dresser at the same time on video , the kinect was locked off.

What I have observed to as people scan a room with an SLS with it unfixed is that it will give a positive on reflections. I am unsure about fixed SLS, as unfixed devices are something I have only observed in more recent ghost hunting videos. Thanks for covering this again!

[@rickhenry1833]

FYI, It's called "Mapping". It will pick up objects when the camera is stationary. The "Object" will intelligently move an arm or leg and wave / provide motion when the item has been asked to provide confirmation ! I agree that f you move the camera, it can take objects as lamps or ceiling fans and distort them in the sls mode.

[@thedrumman2019]

I think using the Xbox one kinect would be far better cause they corrected the false positives (where the kinect would mistake inanimate objects as a person) with the xbox one kinect. Planing to build one using the Xbox one kinect

[@darindurden3685]

Interesting video. However I have been on investigattions using this camera, and it was mounted on a tripod. And I saw a figure sitting in a chair and responding to requists such as can you wave at us to let us know you're hear with us. In which at that point the arm raised and swayed side to side a couple of times. The rest of the figure did not move.

[@FeelnOrange]

That would freak me out lol

[@Scooby1984]

They'll tell you that's just a coincidence lol. Even if you ask the figure to stand on one leg and touch his nose and it dust just that .

[@dawndaniel22]

yes i use a sls and have had same thing happen!! i love my sls!!

[@morganssmashingpearls3329]

I have seen the validity of this too when used properly however: The issue with the chair is that many will give you a false hit and the hands move and appear to wave. The problem is discerning an artifact versus the real deal, so I always just ignore that evidence unless it stands up and leaves the chair. If it is genuine and it’ll wave, it’ll stand up as well. There is nothing planting them to a chair unless it is the software struggling in which case it’s usually a false hit.

[@KabegamiTheGreat]

Arms are always swinging around when it detects a false positive, you would have to have more specific instructions to make it more compelling than just wave on arm. Also chairs are easy to make false positives as it detects legs waist and back so itmakes up the rest.

[@robertrose3068]

What you left out is the fact why the figures that are not us move around around weird is because they are not solid like we are, so they are more difficult to map. Something else you left out is when we ask for a response (i.e. "can you raise your right hand" , they immediately respond at times. I can't speak for everyone, but I know not to aim at relective surfaces-even shiney doors. The only movement is slow and if something starts to be acquired, I no longer move it.

[@academyspiritualenlightenm8406]

I want to add to this comment that I have also received EVP responses in direct connection with the usage of SLS. While it is true that these cameras pick up patterns and latch onto things that resemble people such as tripod stands computer towers stuffed animals, dolls and other objects, they do still detect presences. I agree with your comment, just wanted to add to it. :) I have 41 years of paranormal experience and for the past 20 years have engaged in intense paranormal experimentation. I have a physics degree as well. Just wanted to add credentials so you know I am not just speaking out of my bum. lol

[@KabegamiTheGreat]

False positives have janky movements and often raise hands, if thats all it did for you then its fake. Make it clap its hands above its head and swing its hips from side to side

[@Mizorehatescompany]

Okay, but what if they're used as stationary infrared cameras to record areas where there won't be any foot traffic during the course of an investigation? In that scenario surely they couldn't hurt?

[@ThinkForYourself2025]

You have to assume that something paranormal would only happen in one area and then leave it there until something happened. It would also have to be a room empty of anything it could map on accident. Then you would have to prove that others could set up their own SLS and get the same result. If you can pull all that off, then you will win a Nobel prize. Not joking.

[@mccainjay]

If one is ghost hunting, aren’t they already making bold assumptions? I both agree and disagree with your assertions. As stated, if the SLS is stationary, at least relatively stable, I have to believe that the infrared can easily discern changes and will factor in for anomalies. Your lack of precise terminology suggests to me that you’re a user of the product, in some form, and not the designer. -No offense intended- I’m curious as to the length of depth (how far away) and the height and width the connect was designed for. Do you happen to know? I do agree that some of the results, especially those up close, are dubious. The figures that are all wonky cause me pause for thought. I don’t agree that a pattern on a wall is going to affect the connect one way or another. Moving, with a slow-ish, steady pace with the connect shouldn’t negatively impact a consistent acquisition -I believe that the sensors are refreshing at a rate high enough to accommodate high speed (sporting event speed, as opposed to walking speed).

[@aarlavaan]

Those cameras are amazing. I tested them a bit before release, and they were always finding skeleton structures in random things.

[@jasujokelainen5073]

[@mikelarry88888]

The limbs teleport from one position to another too and sometimes rapidly switching back and forth which produces false animated movement (the erratic jittery dancing effect) .That should give people a clue that it's an imperfect analysis algorithm constantly adjusting to the data and not a ghost detector.

[@kevmodee1866]

I don't doubt that investigators "could and have" gotten good evidence of spirit figures with the SLS; however, what he's explaining is that it isn't designed to be mobile. To get reliable results it should be stationary. I too am very cautious when viewing those that use the SLS, because they constantly move around and get wonky figures and assume it's a ghost. I think that creates a false sense reliability.

@@hawkinshouseofhorror4006 for me personally, the only way I'm gonna be convinced, is if the stick figure responds intelligently to the investigator...for example, raising an arm upon request would be significant. I say we stick to old school techniques that work.

​@@kevmodee1866I suggest if you're able to watch Ghost Adventures you will see if they ask it to wave or touch one of the other people there you can see that it does. They have also seen Spirits through the SLS and then taking a picture seen weird orbs where that Spirit was to.

[@raymondlucero6487]

Danny Duffy had something to do with Nicola Bulleys Disappearance!!!!!

[@dennieguppy4489]

We use the SLS camera but when we is it we seat it down on a stable platform and don't touch it. I understand where you're coming from and you're absolutely right it's not meant to be moved around. But in a stable environment should be able to use it reliably. That's why when we use the SLS camera we always put it down on a stationary platform such as a table chair counter or something like that stand behind it so we're not in front of it. I think in that context can be very reliable if you capture something.

[@Adreno23421]

No, no one in this comment section is allowed to have any other kind of opinion. I agree 100% with you, though.

[@jeffmead4670]

@dennieguppy, how about if you're outside with it mounted on something like a tripod or some other non-moving base, can it be reliable in that context? This would be in the absence of artificial light.

[@ianharvey868]

I agree with you and moving it, I modified mine with a camera mount "nut" so I can mount it to a tripod, again everything has to be debunked, however, if you call out and one appears, you ask it to raise arms, disappear for 10 seconds or bring a friend with them... Well this is much different from the break dancing figures that's usually on people's videos. Once I was at a place and there was a figure that kept coming and going, in the end my friend said it was interesting to see it picking up two spirits.. My reply was "well I can't say it was as we only ever seen one on the screen" about 5 seconds after there was 3 in view on the screen, again no I dont move the camera. My thought was they was looking at my screen watching their friend on the camera lol

[@morganssmashingpearls3329]

It’s wild when they’ll go over to a piece of tech and you can film them prodding and poking at it. I’m frankly not convinced they’re ghosts. There are just intelligent beings that are energy based and we have a habit of limited nomenclature. If I sit down with a camera recording in IR and simply have the intent to entertain, so to speak, it’s fascinating so see the balls of light that show up. With the naked eye you may see a ripple of very faint purple or some other color in the dark…..but on IR cam the faces will appear crisp in the mass of light. Some have huge cat eyes, others beards. Humanoid but not…human facial proportions? Maybe that’s just the kind that interact with me. It’s not location based and I have a high success rate of getting those to show up upon invitation. I only know of a few people who can do the same thing- but it’s not exactly something easily searchable. So all I’ve done since it started in 2019 is record it, document it, study them….

You used a kinect and instead of a stick figure you daw a girl dressed in black? Then you should see it with your own eyes too. Its just a camera, it does not have a magical vision, if it can see it you can too.

[@Maximilian-Willert]

MichaelDMagee and Really Haunted have some amazing footage (in my opinion). Ofcourse you are free to start dismissing an entire piece of tech because of a certain error rate caused by glitches. But wouldn't you agree that keeping an open mind for new things and trying to learn from them by experimenting with them in this case, wouldn't hurt at all? How about together we figure out what the error rate is and what type of situations could potentially show real paranormal entities like we have never been able to see before? This new tech has a huge potential, but it needs to be refined and figured fully out first. Don't you agree?

[@WorldofMrGrey]

hey maximillian, appreciate the comment. I do have an open mind, but i also throw in a lot of rationale in too. first of Michael d mcgee and really haunted have been debunked many times as using masks and strings off camera. They have been spotted by myself and others, you only need to look online and do some searches for them. The kinect, as good as the tech is is flawed. Its designed to find solid 3D objects in humanoid form and make the rest up of what it thinks is a humanoid form. So for example, if it find a pattern in the wall, or back of a room its looking at, if it can see a shoulder pattern, or hips or any of the flexors it will then make up the rest to what it thinks is a humanoid figure. This is why when investigators use this, it is never a stable solid figure, its always thrashing about on the screen. Thats the software trying to make sense of a random pattern in the background. I agree with you that people using them need to understand the tech alot more. Appreciate the comment man :)

[@gpheonix1]

@@WorldofMrGrey So would you say that the kinect is best used as a sort of guide? At least when other possible factors or assumptions can be eliminated? Btw, ive seen that stick figure spaz out even with regular people and with the kinect camera sitting still. Would you say that's more of a confirmation on how finicky the tech is? Does the spazzing of the stick figure necessarily point to improper use? i'm just trying to gauge how strictly we are speaking when it comes to spotting the stick figures while using the kinect on a mobile platform. As opposed to having it on a stable platform like a table. Plus, I'd like to know how to optimally strike off assumptions of potential tech faultiness. My goal is to spread that word. You're the first person I've seen on youtube casting doubt on the kinect. Specifically, currently have the tfil overnight channel as my go to. They frequent this device and i'd like to get that word to them.

[@veevie-jen-438]

I agree completely! Also when you watch the channel Really Haunted he isn’t moving his camera around. It’s usually just aiming towards his living room or wherever he puts it just like you would if you had it hooked up to the gaming system. So he’s doing it pretty much how you’re saying it’s designed for. This is only my opinion, and it’s always good to look at every view point and to try and debunk things before you claim it to be paranormal. I think most of them seem to be pretty legit.

[@Meriale46]

I watch Lee from Really Haunted too and I thought some of his footage was pretty awesome, what I struggle with however (Having had 30+ years of Paranormal research under my belt) that it's very odd for a house to have this much activity on a daily bases. I've lived in a few haunted houses in my day that were very active, but we still didn't experience it this much. Our last home was pretty crowded with spirits as we lived on land where a feirce Civil War battle took place and hundreds of men died there so we'd wake up sometimes hearing canons blasting just a few miles away. We saw soldiers walk through our yard one night, it was very compelling evidence but it still didn't happen at this rate and we lived there for 12 years. Now I'm not accusing him of faking anything, everyone has different experiences, I just find it odd is all. And also, I recently viewed one of his videos where he was home in bed when 2 figures popped in and started walking around... he was awake but heard them knock something down, when he got out of bed, the Kinect did not map his body at all. Not even a little bit as he moved about the room the spirits did too and they were mapped near perfectly. Now I just have to ask how he managed to not be detected and he's a physical being and yet 2 spiritual being were picked up just fine. As someone who has examined hundreds if not thousands of photos and video evidence I just found it strange. Maybe there's an explaination I haven't heard about yet.

[@veevie-jen-438]

@@Meriale46 I feel like you can’t judge how much activity a home should or shouldn’t be experiencing based on personal or otherwise experiences.. For example-a parent shouldn’t read a parenting book on milestones and then compare my child to other children their age based off that. Every situation is different from place to place.. every persons experiences are also different wouldn’t you think? I myself have had experiences while visiting the bunkers in Wa but was only able to hear it when I went back and played the videos and recordings. I haven’t had that event time I’ve gone.. And I’m certainly happy nothing has ever followed me home and tormented me to this extent. I also do feel like a lot of them are to blame when it starts to become more of an issue or problem just by acknowledging it, giving in to fear (Which is understandable) and even with using the ouija board cuz a lot of people believe we open portals or allow these things to cross over or come.. yet in my own belief system I think they have always been here and can come in and out as they please. I’ve yet to see anything that shows a person telling it not to bother them or touch them or follow them home or whatever and have seen it solve the problem. Depending on your faith some belief that earth is the devils domain. Who knows? Not a single person will know these things until they are dead and moved on.. With how great our technology is becoming the vail is getting thinner and thinner between their world and ours. Like I’ve stated.. ONLY my opinion on the subject. I don’t believe everyone who says they are haunted and lost a video. Ghost hunting and ghost hauntings are a popular thing at the moment and everyone wants to be FB/TikTok abs KZbin famous now a days that they are willing to edit and create content just to achieve that.

We had doors that would slam shut in the middle of the night loud bangs on the wall and the oven door even opened and slammed shut one night while we were watching TV, So I have actually stepped away from it but I have no problem sending the audio of that day it is the clearest EVP I have ever heard like I said.

[@80stimeagain]

I totally agree with you and how the sls works. However, like in Ghost Adventures, there is intelligent communication sometimes. They will tell the stick figure to do something and it does it. So, maybe the only way to know if the sls works is to talk, and see if it responds.

[@AJCrowley]

Finally someone pointing out the truth with the latest must have toy for ghost hunters. The SLS camera is working with the exact data you see on the screen. If you don't see the shape of a person mapped out on the screen, then there's not anything there, and the camera struggling to try to fit a stick figure over a piece of furniture or a wall while ignoring actual people in the shot should tell you all you need to know. Next up, the "half on/off maglite" and ghost boxes, and why they're also trash. If you want to find evidence of the paranormal, go to a haunted location with a video camera, an audio recorder, and if you really must have something that makes a beep, an EMF meter. All the other stuff is just toys, and produces nothing that could be called actual "evidence".

Finally, THANK YOU.

[@Tyrell_Corp2019]

I've seen videos of a guy 'talking' to spirits that responded in context to his conversations. In one video, he asked a ghost to touch his hand and it does. In another video by someone different, the spirit is asked to touch one of the REM Pods and in the SLS camera... it does. Is there an A.I. built into SLS that would create such a strong contextual response? And how the heck did they get the REM to line up with the SLS independently? For fun, I downloaded an SLS for the phone, and when I pointed to my friend's dog there something crawling on the floor sort of petting the her. Later, when the dog wasn't there, the spirit was now sitting in a chair that was behind a table... but had boxes piled on it. So HOW... did this thing recognize a dog... and a blocked chair? At the moment, I don't believe or disbelieve until I know. But IF there is an A.I. built into it, can it be this good? Any thoughts?

[@alcapon-o3f]

I have some really really really good capture with mine still mounted on my tv stand broad daylight and the figure interacts with me from acting like he is playing guitar to reaching and holding my hand and one touching a led Christmas light or more power and the best part on a few of them is while I am interacting with the spirit I ask questions on the sb7 and get direct answers all recorded . I am constantly surround by spirits and considered a medium and I have times when I am recording me playing guitar on webcam and capture voices in my recordings and also even on my cell phone getting direct answers on video with orbs interacting with me !

Ghost detector is good to find real ghost not fake ones

[@grime9714]

Not trying to argue but bring some constructive criticism so that we might all come to a conclusion, but if the tech is good at finding the shapes why would it confuse anything at all for a human if it knows what a humans outline is? I had an experience with my Kinect that made me turn it off forever I was really sick watching Netflix and I was under the covers and the Kinect was pausing and playing my video over and over and there’s no way it could’ve mistaken my hands cause I was all bundled up? And insight on that?

[@nooneatall5485]

i cant seem to find anything on youtube or google debunking lee"s footage from really haunted channel, could you please elaborate his kinect is always stationary and how he fakes the black orbs ect thanks in advance, and i will of course go back and rewatch looking for the wires and masks you mention he might be using

[@rocket81ful]

Hi, Just a quick question , your thoughts on Ed & Lorraine Warren, would be interested on your opinion on there paranormal experiences. Though out there Lives. Cheers.

[@langalier]

Hi. If you do not like the sls setup or how the camera works. Is there something out there that is somerhing you like. I use the POVs and a few others that sre designed for videos or pics. And all of them came from Ghostsr Stop Thanks for your time Bill Will

[@jeffgrave]

Thanks WorldofMrGrey. Who ever researched that an entity can cause laser to bounce back anyway? Like the gentleman said, it is designed to be fixed (like on a tripod) and face humans to detect the joint movements to provide digital feedback to a program for videos games. Bill Chapel started all this misinformation.

[@Thaumiel98]

There's a channel called "really haunted" where you can see the "kinect silhouettes" walking and interacting with the objects. It looks pretty good.

[@user-pc8tb7hg1lHandlesRDumb]

Then how do you explain a dog owner finding two dog sized joint systems one on his shoulder where he used to carry his dog and the other on the floor in a scratching position?

[@user-pc8tb7hg1lHandlesRDumb]

In this video he’s is moving it but the rocking chair one isn’t looking like it was caused by that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hV7XZnZqf6mBjJo

[@WorldofMrGrey]

Will take a look and get back to you :)

[@Argomundo]

I dont think you mentioned it, at least I cant rmemeber it, but i that first clip you showed, the camera draws a figure on some weird shape, but not on the actual human in the center of the shot

[@Rewind36383]

what about "really haunted"'s sls camera footage?

[@lostjessie1]

I just learned the kinect has a night vision option, like a real night vision!

[@tiziano316]

There are a couple of videos here on yt you can't explain with you superficial explanation. And what's about EVP in your opinion? I am recording EVP since 2003, this i didn't try yet but i will do to see if there is something true.

[@MrStatistx]

Basically it chooses some dot of the skeletton and puts it on a spot, the rest of the figure is rigged to that and it just tries to find more spots to stick them to.

[@Skrat-xp2vv]

Helo you seem like a profesional can i use iPhone trueDepth or lidar like kinect these sensors are projecting ir light dots

[@jesset4870]

The next time you see a ghost video just think what would mr. grey do 👍👍👍

[@denise_sarran3786]

Many thanks for the in-depth explanation on the SLS\Kinect Camera. A few weeks prior to your initial video was released, a friend who is very much in the know about these cameras explained it to me. You were able to back him up 100%. I'm pretty sure the fake channels know exactly what is happening, it just adds to their arsenal of magic tricks ! Cheers Dan 👍🐨

[@Lady1974M]

As always, thanks for the video. Looking forward to the next one. Stay safe. :)

[@CrownedFoxProductions]

should you just use it as a stationary angle?

[@pipperoooo]

Omg the new slapped with the girl with the goat legs is hysterical and of course nuke with yet another histrionic Japanese guy comes in a close second. Lol

[@Scooby1984]

Stop it lol. How would you explain this. You see a stick figure napped out on the sls, you ask it to lift its left arm then it lifts its left arm, you ask it to wave and it waves at you, say you ask it to stand on one leg and it intelligently acts out your request. How would you explain that bud? Is it just coincidently doing exactly what you ask it to do while " struggling to map out"?. If it's never worked for you just say that next time bro.

[@imSkrap]

Literally overlap one footage over the other…

[@delicrux]

Bru just ask it to play games with you XD

[@sugeng3113]

Ghost is immaterial phenomenon, at the otherhand cameras, 3d scanner etc is basically for identifying material things

[@TayWoode]

Maybe ask it to spar with you...

[@CicadaThefunny]

And maybe, just maybe, most of this paranormal investigation equipment is held together with hot glue and tape? I mean, it’s impossible to manipulate technology, right, guys? Surely, it has more than three lines of code just for detecting movement or sticking a green stick figure on anything vaguely shaped like a human! I mean, i think I’m giving them too much credit thinking that they’d use of pay for hot glue.

[@bobharrison9620]

Sir , I bought and lived in a long used retirement home, I used to watch ambulances go up there weekly when I was young. Grandparents bought it and it was a once a year Christmas visiting home. It sat empty for 7 years after that. Long story short, you may not believe and that's your right and your right about the tools being bunk but have you ever heard your name or voices when no one is around. I owned and lived in it 25 years and haven't felt like I did in that house since.. 99.9% probably could be debunked like Trumps mouth but me myself I hope your wrong and nether one of us will ever really know. Respectfully Robert H. ps keep it up, there are always places where people are wrong. I know I have been as much as the other guy.

[@luce8458]

Insomma e un po come la pareidolia per noi umani. Ma quindi se metti la telecamera fissa, dovrebbe essere più attendibile. Giusto? Scusami se non scrivo in inglese, ma non lo so fare. Ho visto il video con i sottotitoli. Grazie mille della spiegazione. Ero molto curiosa e affascinata da questa tecnologia e non me la sapevo spiegare. Gentilissimo!

[@davidgoldstraw9892]

The only thing you should use the kinect for is the ten pin bowling on kinect sports

[@johnqtv1978]

Question for the Creator. I intend to use it on a tripod recording while we investigate and ask questions. My question is are you against the Kinect being used this way but without scanning or moving the camera around? Maybe placing it in the corner just to record while we ask questions and such?

[@paranormalwheelers]

I was thinking the same thing. I write paranormal stories, but we want to see if we can actually find them.

[@Dragonmentalmum]

Thank you great explanation 😊

[@THEPARAHOLICS]

I’m so glad to have found this video. I bought an SLS camera a few years ago & quickly figured out this tech is JUNK for paranormal research. I learned I could force a mapped out stick man on almost any surface. It’s no mistake that whatever sized surface the camera maps out, that’s gonna be the same dimensions as your “ghost”… And anyone that’s honest/objective that uses this knows it’s true.Unless there are thousands of refrigerator sized spirits haunting out there - be careful!!!!!! Complete crap. 😂 Good work.

[@ogueyratogeyrat7448]

then explain how it moving

[@THEPARAHOLICS]

The movement is caused by the software struggling to impose a human shape falsely onto a surface.

[@yvonneost12]

I'm devastated you mean theres no such thing as ghosts - ohhhh noooo LOL

[@mrs.dr.spencerreid3992]

🍀☘️Hi Dan‼️. Yeah, I never bought the SLS Kinect as a “ghost/paranormal”:tool. You would think that these hunters would do more research on *HOW* the damn thing works *BEFORE* using it as “proof”:of a ghost. 😆🤣🤣😂😅😁😆🤣😂😅. Fan for life. ~ Karen, from the USA 🇺🇸

[@turritopsisrockola]

You only "explained" that the people using this cameras move them around. I had never seen that, they are always fixed and some videos are hard to debunk. In a recent nuke's top 5 one was included where the figure moves over around the person sleeping in the bed and drops a lamp or something

[@WorldofMrGrey]

Hey jose, thanks for the comment, i made this over a year ago, i have since gone deeper in more recent videos :)

[@JacquelineZe]

Are u sure it was just showing a ghost stick form or little more then what u bargain form

[@nisse6952]

Have you heard of the Iraquois camera/technology? I watched a documentary style ghost hunting show from from these guys that investigate Saginaw, MI (their name escapes me atm, but the head researcher is some rapper named Prozac?) The images the camera picked up were very creepy, but I couldn't find much info on that technology anywhere, so I'm really skeptical. A few of the ghost hunters originals are in his movies as well (Brian and Steve.)

[@TEAM-wz2cm]

Prozacs investigations are some of the best that I seen, they operate under the name SEEKERS and there's some stuff under haunted Saginaw I want to say, but his real name is Steve Shippy that's the easiest way to find his work

[@stuntbaby4927]

Thanks Dan!

[@grahamhardy1358]

That's why the Kinect 2.0 uses a different technology and the "ghost stick figures no longer appear. As the next version has 3 sensors built in instead of one

[@SiliconDrifter]

Imagine not using tech that employs infrared lasers to map depth to give you a possibility

[@joecater894]

I took a pic of a beach.. on the pic I took awhile ago I noticed something very strange.. two men on the beach.. one digging.. one sort of looking down close to the first man. they're quite clearly there.. or seem to be looking at the picture. But as you zoom in it becomes very clear these are simply not standard human forms ; they are silhouettes of distorted forms that look very human.. but clearly cannot be. in the same pic there are some real humans present.. bit further away ... and they look very clearly human.. although they are a bit blurred.. they are not silhouetted or distorted forms. So... either I caught a ghost.. or it was just some objects such as seaweed combined with some darker sections of wall behind that looked like two people............... However, two people next to each other some distance apart in the same shot when I have never seen such a type of anomaly before? Its a bit odd... and I was wondering if some of the clever smart software and/or possibly AI might have miscalculated that it saw a human form and tried to make it up from the available patterns and debris around the beach and wall... but from the pic they really do look very very present and very real.. and like two men standing upright. I used standard smartphone cam... so no special ghost hunting equipment and I wasnt out ghost hunting or anything..

[@andquin1476]

what do you make of really haunteds videos with a fixed camera and no movement of it at all ? they seem pretty authentic to me but i am always skeptical ,

[@LostSoulParanormal]

It completely blows my mind that people will review technology and have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. This actually hurts my brain listening to you try and explain how this works. These are tools to use not a gotcha button.

[@WorldofMrGrey]

This video is a few years old now, but what do you think this tool is used for, and what do you understand about it? I'm curious

[@LostSoulParanormal]

The Xbox Kinect camera utilizes several key technologies to enable its functionality. Infrared (IR) Emitters and Sensors. The Kinect emits infrared light patterns into the environment using an array of IR emitters. These patterns are then captured by an array of IR sensors, allowing the Kinect to measure the time it takes for the light to bounce back. This helps in calculating the distance between the Kinect and objects in its view. Depth Sensing. By analyzing the time it takes for the emitted infrared light to return to the sensors, the Kinect creates a depth map of the scene. This depth map represents the distances to objects in the camera's field of view, allowing for the creation of a 3D representation of the environment. RGB Camera. In addition to depth sensing, the Kinect also features an RGB camera, which captures traditional color images of the scene. These images can be used for visual recognition, tracking, and augmenting the user experience. No one can prove what happens after death only speculation. Tools utilized to find evidence are exactly that Tools. A hammer can not build a house by itself but in a skilled Carpenters hands it can build cities.

[@WorldofMrGrey]

@@LostSoulParanormal no, I wanted your understanding, not a chat gpt response :)

[@LostSoulParanormal]

@@WorldofMrGrey I completely understand how the technology works with the utilization of RGB and CMOS camera's and interpretation of the this into the software but I am not sure I could explain it in a way you would be able to comprehend.

[@WorldofMrGrey]

@@LostSoulParanormal Couldn't comprehend? ok lol. So now that you do possibly understand it the tech at least for the most part, what do you think in the realms of catching ghosts?

[@UrbanXExplorer]

But again.. when it is stationery and nobody in front of it that automatically maps out a figure?.

[@YorvikRaven]

So is it intelligent then.because ive bought an sls spirit shack set up.we mapped something on a plain surface exactly where we got a spirit boy on photo the year before.i asked it to raise its arm it did this on comand.so how do you explain that then.this happens without sls too ask to move things it does it.

[@DromolZ]

How such a fun video, this definitely adds a good spark to this boring ass world

[@artistgamer525]

Of course you will say this technology and that, because the reason may be because you do not believe in things like ghosts. I appreciate your thoughts, but if you say that kind of thing does not exist or is just a hallucination, I will not accept because of the fact that many people, even myself have experienced such an experience. but in the case of kinect, is it impossible if a humanoid object formed from some kind of temperature is not detected ?

[@adam8628]

Yep I thought they are crap from the start, same as thoes apps they use now some of the top channels make all about these devices ,it turns me of them I definitely wouldn't wast my money on that crap 😉😉👍👍

What I want to know is when Lee isin bed and his wife and dog are there. How come the Kinect only picks Lee's body up and not his wife's or his dog's body? I'm not saying it's fake I just would like an explanation why only his body is being detected?

[@WorldofMrGrey]

An excellent and on point observation right there.
