Coding4Fun Kinect Projects

One of the more common Kinect demo's we see is someone controlling the video on an XBox, via voice or gesture. That's cool and all, but what about Windows Media Player? How do we get that same kind of cool NUI on our PC's? Well, you get a Kinect and then... Windows Media Player NUIDemonstrating THE…

We've seen XBox's flat 2D based Kinect NUI, but that's like wasting a whole "D"! We don't live in a flat world, so neither should our NUI's. Today's project responds to that and shows off controlling and manipulating 3D objects in a Kinect world. WPF 3D Manipulation with KinectI've…

This project doesn't have code directly related, it uses a code sample that comes included in the SDK, but I thought it such an interesting low tech/high tech, idea sparking, project that you all might like it too. Think about using the Kinect to build an "active" baby monitor. Sound and…

We've not highlighted a Getting Started guide in a bit and since this one comes in three courses, it's like your getting a three for one deal, free! Another point s that it's good to get different perspectives, different viewpoints on getting started and using the Kinect SDK for Windows. We're all…

Kinect, Dan, Tina, Clint, a Turret, Nerf Gun and some Coding4Fun code. Need I say more? Coding4Fun Kinect TurretFrom Xbox Live, here is the Coding4Fun Kinect Turret! It uses the Kinect for Windows SDK and uses a combination of skeleton tracking and depth data to defend your office! The project took…

Today's inspirational 16 minute video is a overview of what 50 developers created in a 8 hour Kinect hack-a-thon. There are a number of interesting projects demo'd in this video. I think my favorite is the dog demo, but that could be because my dog is staring at me right now, looking for a treat…

Today's another inspiration video show off how the NASA Langley Research Center is using the Kinect to create the HIVE... I find it pretty awesome just how broad and varied the scenarios where the Kinect for Windows sensor and SDK are being used (and come on, it's NASA! Inside the HIVE…

Today is a two for one day. Same presentation, same author, same basic topic, but for two different audiences, resulting in two different information experiences... (Think one is slide heaver and one is very code heavy and anti-slide) Rocking the Enterprise with the Kinect ExperienceCan you imagine…

This level 100 Techdays 2012 the Netherlands session by Rob Miles provides some great information, demos and development examples for the Kinect. Kinect Mayhem: Psychedelic ghost cameras, Virtual mallets, a Kiss Detector and a Head Tapping GameIf you want to find out just what a Kinect does and…

The second post in our "Oh yeah, v1!" week is a logical next step from yesterday's post... Now that the Kinect for Windows SDK is in a v1 state and we can start officially deploying Kinect for Windows SDK based applications, one of the things we're going to be facing is just that,…
