2FAAST Kinect

Today's project will interest those looking to emulate other Windows input functions via Kinect by showing how the Kinect can work with the Windows Input Simulator (C# SendInput Wrapper - Simulate Keyboard and Mouse) project.

2FAAST Kinect

Keyboard events simulator using angles calculated by using Microsoft Kinect SDK.

Basic Implementation of FAAST http://projects.ict.usc.edu/mxr/faast/ using kinect SDK.

Raise your right hand to the right to press right key , your left hand to the left to the left key. And hand up in the front to press up key.

Edit the code to change the keys or to use another angles to activate key press events.

Runs with Beta2? Yes. Just remove/re-add the Microsoft.Research.Kinect reference.
