Today's Hardware Friday project is from friend of the blog, Matt Cavanagh (who is a newly minted Nokia Developer Champion), who provides us a project that's very much a mix of old and new school... Old school ft. New school: Snake with a Lumia 920 controlling a 5110 LCD using a NetduinoThis project…

Today's project by Mick Palmer shows off, with source, one of the killer features of the Kinect, it's superior speech capabilities. And who doesn't want to name their Kinect and to be able to yell (err... talk too) their media player? SPEECH RECOGNITION FOR THE KINECT: Kinect speech media…

As promised on Tuesday, here's this week's second project by David Renton, this time with him showing off (with code) how to do a "green screen" without a green screen... Kinect No Need 4 Green – The Green Screen without a Green ScreenThis little piece of software allows you to produce…

I don't normally blog about projects that don't have source, but this project from Dr. Dave is just cool so I'm making an exception. Plus since it has an extensibility model, I guess that makes it code'able? Kind of? Anyway, it's cool and it's fun... What? NUIverseNUIverse is an application, written…

Today's inspirational video comes to us via the team at Second Story where they show off some of the work they are doing with using two Kinects at the same time... Lose your OcclusionDepth-sensing cameras like the Kinect give us the opportunity to mix physical environments and virtual environments,…
