Knight Rider

Take a stroll around the KittCave... (kinda)

December 11, 01:05 PM

A little while ago, Microsoft sent some reps down from Seattle to take about 1500 pictures of our main set. Their hope was to show off the Satellite Surveillance Chamber (aka, the KittCave) on Photosynth.net, a site where anyone can upload his or her 2D photos and turn them into 3D environments.


If you've ever made a panorama by "stitching" together two or more photos of the same landscape, it's kind of like that. On steroids. This technology can take hundreds of photos of a given location/object/person, and then "synth" them together to create interactive environments you can virtually travel through, around, under, over, etc. Without the aid of any human eye, the computers will identity overlapping elements in different photos, and then use those points to place all the photos in a three dimensional space.


MS just got permission from NBC to show off a "synthed" KittCave, so it's up there for you to check out. Just search for "KittCave."


Just one catch: The browser plug-in, as you may guess, only runs on Windows (for now). As a die hard Mac user myself, I had to use a friend's computer to check it out...

What's going on with the new episodes not airing online ? This is assuming episodes have already aired on TV. Is there a schedule we could see ? Thanks! I LOVE the show and internet is the only way I can watch it.

[EDITOR'S NOTE: In the U.S., we haven't aired a new episode since November 19th, but NBC currently has us slated to return December 31st with a new episodes, which will all appear on online soon after their airing. Thanks for watching!]

When will their be a new season? I heard that this season would end march 4th. Also I was wondering will their be an episode where Mike finds out more about his past. Like an episode where he just finds out that he has a long lost [say] younger bother or sister and that he really needs to help. and protect them. I really think this would help make the show even better. Keep the show going. Thanks again. Carey.
