Mapping Buildings with a Kinect
This cool mapping system created by MIT uses a Kinect motion tracker, a laser range finder, GPS, and inertial sensors to map out the interior of a building. [via Beyond the Beyond]
Gestural Interaction in the Operating Room with a Wii Remote and Kinect
Student Tamara Worst used two 3D sensors, a Wii remote and Microsoft Kinect, to detect the orientation and position of a surgeon’s right foot in the OR. She wrote software in Processing to allow them to view and manipulate images and 3D models without the use of their hands.
Gesture Tracking without a Kinect
We’re all familiar with wildly waving your arms in front of a Kinect to control an on-screen avatar, but the special hardware required ultimately limits the reach of this technology. But webcams are now built into nearly every laptop and mobile device on the market. What if you could wave your arms in front of your iPad to play your favorite motion control games?
Kinecticate: Kinect-powered Email
Chad Ruble wrote to me to share how he used a Kinect and the SimpleOpenNI library for Processing to help his mom send email messages.
Kinect-Controlled Visual Instrument
This project combines the collective talents of musicians, dancers, programmers, designers and animators to create an amazing visual instrument. Creating music through motion is at the heart of this creation and uses the power of the Kinect to capture movement and translate it into music which is performed live and projected on a huge wall.

Kinect + Digital Camera = DIY CGI
Kaley says: “The team behind the RGB+D Toolkit (an open-source, video game/Final Cut Pro hybrid) is attempting to transform the Kinect gaming console into a real filmmaking tool, making stunning DIY CGI a real possibility. Using a Kinect and a standard DSLR camera, like your Canon 5D, these avant-garde image-makers have created a technique that […]
