In a few days we will have some videos to post on our work today. Thanks to K. S. Loke of Malaysia and Michael Koh of Singapore for arranging this. I hope we will have some good teaching/learning videos of the foundations of the Practical Method out of this.

Amazing! Looking forward to this!

It is great! I hope that it could be used in a 3D CAD program that we can orientate it to see the movement in different angles. Would the 3D model has the beard as your trademark?

Sweet. This is something I was working on as a home pet project with multiple webcams.. Well done! Looking forward to the result. Will this generate a generic/proprietary virtual (3D) video file for viewing manipulation? If so, will you provide the software to view?

You guys realize that the ultimate TaiJi master will one day be a robot right? All they have to do is upload Master Chens data into it and viola! hehe

Hi Guys,
You will not be able to be manipulate in 3D unless you have on of those specialized software and the original source data.
