Today is is like a six for one deal day where we highlight a series of articles from Soul Solutions about our favorite hardware device (and how you can start building with it faster) Kinect For Windows Interactions GalleryAs the Kinect For Windows SDK has started to evolve, the team has been adding…

Today's Modern Monday project by Andrew Wilkinson is one of those kinds of projects that makes me love developers. Imagine this... Building Windows 8 MVVM app... Gaa, don't like the available templates, but good enough to start with. hack, hack, hack. Building second app. Ahh, templates again...…

While I don't usually highlight stuff you have to pay for (though they do offer a great free trial), this is the first course of this nature at pluralsight and since it covers our favorite hardware device, well, I can make an exception this time. New course: Building a Real Application with…

Recently on the Coding4Fun Kinect Gallery I highlighted a couple Kinect -> Mouse projects, Is that a mouse on your face? Or your face acting as a mouse? Both? FaceMouse, KinectMouse. And while I don't usually highlight commercial, non-source available projects I thought this pretty cool. But what…

As promised on Tuesday, here's this week's second project by David Renton, this time with him showing off (with code) how to do a "green screen" without a green screen... Kinect No Need 4 Green – The Green Screen without a Green ScreenThis little piece of software allows you to produce…

I don't normally blog about projects that don't have source, but this project from Dr. Dave is just cool so I'm making an exception. Plus since it has an extensibility model, I guess that makes it code'able? Kind of? Anyway, it's cool and it's fun... What? NUIverseNUIverse is an application, written…

Today's inspirational video comes to us via the team at Second Story where they show off some of the work they are doing with using two Kinects at the same time... Lose your OcclusionDepth-sensing cameras like the Kinect give us the opportunity to mix physical environments and virtual environments,…

Friend of the Gallery, David Renton, is back, this week with two different updates and projects. Today... Kinect Magic Cursor version 1.7 with Gesture supportI am releasing a new version of Kinect Magic Cursor which works much like the last version except it now uses gestures to simulate the left…

Todays' project by Christer Kaitila is a kit that will help you quickly and easily build Windows 8 Platform games. Almost painfully easy to create games... If you've ever wanted to create your own platform game, and you've got a weekend, this kit is just for you... Windows 8 Platformer Game Starter…

It's time for a little hardware hacking (in a good sense). No plug and play here, we're talking breadboards, wires, Arduino and some coding Okay, maybe this isn't "hacking" nor all the hardcore [at all] but for a non-circuit guy like me, it is... Arduino Fun – Door Entry AlarmPhysical…
