Kinect + Cursor + Source = Kinecursor v1.1.1

We're going to start off the week with a Friend of the Gallery, Tango Chen, doubleheader. Today, we're highlighting his Kinecursor (which we last highlighted here, Kinect mousing with Kinecursor (and a plea for your help)) which he's rev'ed and released the source for too!

Kinecursor v1.1.1 with Source Code

I’ve seen several Kinect projects about controlling the cursor.(I’ve found 4 posts[3 projects] of this on Channel9 Codin4Fun..)

And the same part of them is: using one hand to control the cursor and the other hand to perform mouse clicks.

I decided to make a better one. So I created Kinecursor, stands for Kinect + Cursor, which allows you to perform mouse left down/up(down+up=a click) by simply making a fist(It’s not exactly called a fist.. It’s like… a thumbs up..)
