Kinect is the closest I can think of. Not sure if you live in that world.

Would you credit Microsoft or Prime Sense for the Kinect?

Oh my god not the "Kinect was acquired Herpa-Derp" argument again. On the kinect sensor, there's pose estimation being performed @ 200 fps which is the product of work done @ MSR. Here is the paper that describes how the kinect does pose estimation faster than any comparable tech on the market : http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=1453...
