New course: Building a Real Application with Kinect

John Sonmez has published a new course: Building a Real Application with Kinect

Have you played with Microsoft Kinect? Do you think it’s legit? Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could write your own Kinect enabled applications to take advantage of this awesome piece of technology? Well, I have great news… John has written a course so you can 

In this course he will walk you through the creation of a real application using the Kinect. You’ll be building a Fruit Ninja clone called Shape Ninja which will be capable of detecting chopping gestures and responding to audio commands. You will start off by learning a little bit about the Kinect itself and the Kinect SDK. Then, John shows you just how easy it is to get color image and depth data from the Kinect. You’ll make your application be able to detect and respond to a chopping gesture. He wraps things up by teaching you how to use the Microsoft Speech Platform SDK in combination with the Kinect’s audio sensors to implement real voice commands for our application.

If you’ve been waiting to check out the Kinect, but you didn’t know where to start, or perhaps you thought it would be difficult to learn; this course will get you up and running with the Kinect in no time. Click here to get started now. We hope you enjoy the course!

Windows Phone Design 101 covers the philosophy, inspiration and visuals that are Windows Phone Design Language. Starting with the basic terminology of design, this boot camp will take you from its early origins to the Design Principles each screen in Windows Phone was measured against. From there, we will show you the design process that guided its creation. Lastly, we will discuss the larger Microsoft Design ecosystem including Windows 8.

In Windows Phone Design 201 focuses on the skills necessary to implement "pixel-perfect" Windows Phone UI. 201 will cover the "system" including basics of the phones navigation model, interaction with the shell and an overview of gesture system. Next it will cover "composition", which is about how to clearly define when it is appropriate to use a page template and when to use a particular animation or page transition or how to harness screen orientation. Lastly, we will cover, controls and APIs available for creating your own experiences and give tips on how to do simple prototyping.

Boot camp presenter: Jared T Potter

Former Windows Phone Design Integration Lead for 3 years, Jared is now Principle Designer for SixThAveStudios.com. Jared's focus is to combine the most cutting edge design language, user experience and motion graphics into a complete mobile user experience. http://www.linkedin.com/in/jaredpotter

Yep, it's time again for the my annual compresionist's party at NAB. And now that I work for Microsoft, the snacks are better than ever! We're not exactly sure what time and which room yet; I'll share details when we get closer. But we try to start early enough and run late enough that we're a good stop on the way to or from dinner. Drop on in and let's talk about the news of the compression world from the show.

RSVP is not required, but if you think you're coming, drop me an email so I can track a rough headcount. My email is first name period last name at Microsoft.com

I've been doing compression training at Stanford since 1999, and I think this will be the 10th time I've taught it in the week-long format.

The class has long been a highlight of my year - as many have said, to really learn something you have to teach it, and I've learned more about compression teaching this class than anywhere else. When I was negotiating over joining Microsoft, permission to keep teaching the class and covering non-Microsoft formats in it was one of my requirements.

The basic format is a full week in a classroom with me and students coming from a variety of experiences and skill levels. We spend about half of the class doing lecture and Q&A, and half doing hands-on compression. Each student gets their own workstation preloaded with a variety of compression tools and sources. Students are welcome to bring in their own sources and projects which we use in the class.

Anyway, it's a great class. Check it out if you're interested.
