Make: Talk 008 – Kyle Machulis, Kinect Hacker

Here’s the 8th episode of MAKE‘s podcast, Make: Talk! In each episode, I interview one of the makers featured in the magazine.

Our maker this week is Kyle Machulis, a hardware and software hacker who led the team in making the reverse engineer drivers for the Microsoft Kinect. Kyle is also an avid self-tracker, which means he uses technology to measure different aspects of his health and biology.

Here’s what we talked about in this episode:

• PlantSmart
• MAKE’s Game Developer Conference Coverage
• iStand in Make: Projects
• OpenYou
• FitBit
• Nonpolynomial Labs
