Another Kinect hack with 3D possibilities

type="html">

Some of you might remember when we covered Oliver Kreylos’ first attempt at 3D panning with a Kinect.

As you can see in the video above, Okreylos (his YouTube user name) has added a second Kinect to his little experiment. It definitely causes more of a 3-D view, but if it is panned to the back of the XBox case, it is nothing but a hollow box. You will see a difference when a Kinect is turned off.

So, is the Kinect the new bullet-time for this decade?

Kinect hack used to make a ?shadow puppet?

type="html">

Interactive Puppet Prototype with Xbox Kinect from Theo Watson on Vimeo.

I have just seen the Kinect used for some almost holographic effect on a user, and now, here is another hack: shadow puppets.

Somehow, the Kinect is able to sense the lady’s hand, and then match its movements with a CG creation. They even made it so the bird will make a noise with its “mouth” is open.

I wonder what the next big Kinect hack will be.
