Greetings!
Since the initial Kinect hack and the creation of compatible PC drivers (on Linux) the internet was flooded with many interesting experiments, some of which may very well lead to comprehensible software releases "revolutionizing" the way you interact with your computer.
Might as well begin with what seems like the most promising Kinect enabled program suit that according to its developers will soon be released to the public. The CEO of Evoluce, Wolfgang Herfurtner, offers "multitouch" and gesture computing solutions meant to be implemented in the entire interface of Windows 7. Kinect controls Win7 and several multitouch applications on top of that. The software is based on the latest Evoluce Multitouch Input Management driver that offers many APIs like TUIO, Flash and Java. As Windows 7 was built to support multitouch, the Kinect can seamlessly be integrated to support a lot of applications. The programs that already support multitouch are Google Earth, Internet Explorer 9, Windows Media Centre, and plenty others that natively support touch input. This certainly opens up numerous new ways in which you can interact with your PC.
Wondering what you can do with a hacked Kinect on your Mac? First interesting example is this: A new processing app by Chris Rojas takes the distance data and renders objects in neon cubes, with the size of the cube based on the object's distance from the sensor. And to make things a bit more interesting an iPad was integrated with the system for more control. An iOS app provided sliders to define and adjust different "planes of interest," along with the accelerometer input of the iPad to control zoom and pan of the virtual camera.
And here is something even more wacky: Emily Gobeille & Theo Watson have created an interactive puppet by using skeleton tracking on the arm and determining where the shoulder, elbow, and wrist, is using it to control the movement and posture of the giant projected bird. They used openFrameworks and libFreenect to make it work.
If you are interested in testing some of these things on your computer or want to develop your own software you can visit the link in the description of this video to download Kinect drivers for Windows, Linux, or O S X. If you were not aware the code is entirely free because it is open source and it is meant to be shared.
Lastly, if you enjoyed this UPDATE: "like" the video and subscribe for more. And feel free to leave a comment about your thoughts on Kinect hacks or any related subject matter.
