Coding4Fun Kinect Projects

Seems like we're on a Gesture recording theme this week so far... Today's project provides another look at recognizing and recording gestures with the Kinect for Windows SDK. In today's we get the source to the main library too, so we can see just how the magic is done... Kinect SDK Dynamic Time…

Today's project is a precompiled binary that lets you use your Kinect as a standard video capture source, but also lets you play with the depth letting you move in front/behind bitmaps you "float" in the capture. The screenshots below are me in my office (yes, I have a Lego Death Star II.…

Since Scotty picked up a mouse and said "Computer," or we saw HAL in 2001 a Space Odyssey, or [insert your favorite talking to a computer scene here], there's been this dream that one day we'll have computers that understand us (well understand our speech anyway... what I wouldn't pay for…

Since first using the Kinect on the 360, we've seen "buttons." Now Shai Raiten sharing one means of realizing them in your applications too. Kinect – Create ButtonsIn my previous posts about Kinect I’ve showed how to get started, how to change Angles and more cool stuff, but now it’s time…

Why re-invent the skeleton wheel when we can stand on the shoulders of giants (and leverage their work)? Skeleton Custom Control for Kinect SDK WPFI’ve been using the Microsoft Research SDK for Kinect for a little over a week in my spare hours, it is tonnes of fun and so much more stable then the…

I'm not sure how to describe this, it's pretty darn cool visual effect. I'll let the video speak for itself. This would be fun at a party Kinect RippleliciousThe way the application works is that it displays whatever the RGB camera sees, and tracks the skeletons of up to two people in the frame,…

Today's post comes via TWC9: Office 365, Internet Explorer 10 PP2, Choosing the Right collection class, ToneCheck and shows us how to turn a Kinect into a MUI (Music NUI) Kinect MIDI ControllerThis tool allows you to use a Microsoft Kinect sensor as a MIDI Controller. The project uses Microsoft…

Today's post is short and sweet and I'm hoping does two things. One, I hope the snip helps those trying to solve this project or implement something like this Two, I wanted to highlight the goodness you can find in the Kinect for Windows SDK Beta Forums. They are an outstanding resource to help you…

Sight That's what my robot needs, sight, human like, depth perception, sight. And of course, as a developer, I need the capability to program my robot to use that sight. Hum... Eyes... Sight... Depth sensing... sounds like this cool device I've heard so much about. Now if only I could use with the…

Today's project is another from the one and only Michael Crump and is another example of creating a button in your Kinect application (Kinect Buttons was the first I highlighted). I found it interesting and cool how Michael leveraged the code from Jelly bean. Got to love the view when standing on…
