Coding4Fun Kinect Projects

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…

The theme for this week seems to be working out to a "let's code" week. Today's project is one that's pretty unique and something I've seen only a couple times and I think this is the first that used the Kinect for Windows SDK and included the source too... Kinect & HTML5 using…

Real-time motion capture is one of the more common requests I see for the Kinect so when I saw this... Do note that this requires a third party project, the DigitalRune Engine, but you can get a free 30 trial for it AND if you're using this non-commercially you can get a free license too. Real-Time…

Today's project was first seen on during the Kinect for Windows SDK launch on June 17, 2011. It's a simple demo, but that's the thing. It shows how much you can do quickly, with just a little code. Kinect Earth MoveKinectEarthMove, which use color image and skeleton from Kinect, needs Kinect for…

We've had code, hardware, inspirational posts this week. Now it's time for a little learning and getting started... Practical Windows Kinect In C# (Introduction To Kinect, Getting started with Windows Kinect SDK 1.0)This e-book is for Version 1.0 of the Kinect SDK together with the Windows version…

Most Kinect examples are based on someone standing in front of the Kinect. But what if you can't stand? Today's project is unusual in that it focuses on using the Kinect and doing position and gesture recognition while you are seated... Sitting posture recognition with Kinect sensor... My article is…

Credit for today's entry goes to Develop with Python in Visual Studio, connect with Kinect and Excel. I don't follow Python news much and so might have missing this if it wasn't for Dan's post. Not only do does this highlight the latest version of the Python Tools for Visual Studio release, but…
