Kinect for Windows Blog

As we mentioned in our previous blog, some of the technologists who have been part of the Kinect for Windows v2 developer preview program are here at BUILD, demonstrating their amazing apps. In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at how Kinect for Windows v2 has spawned creative leaps forward at two innovative companies: Freak’n Genius and Reflexion Health. Left: A student is choosing a Freak’n Genius character to animate in real time for a video presentation on nutrition. Right: Vera, by Reflexion Health can track a patient performing physical therapy exercises at home and give her immediate feedback on her execution while also transmitting the results to her therapist.

Kodu In Education

Described below is a method to integrate Kinect and promotes active learning, higher level thinking and can be made relevant to all content areas. Driver support from developers will continue to stabilize; school infrastructure and administrators’ paradigms will continue to evolve to fully support Kinects in classrooms. I believe that this method offers a glimpse of what to expect over the next few years. The activities found within this math module are designed for use with Kodu and provide a great framework for all math teachers to integrate game development in their classrooms. I made a very basic video showing how you may use Kodu in your content area as great way to support instruction. Kinecting the Dots: Adding Buttons to your Kinect Application. Introduction The official Kinect SDK has been out for a while now and I haven’t seen many people actually doing “how-to” post to get others started developing for it.

Joaquim Rocha's Web Page » Blog Archive » Announcing Skeltrack. After being able to control the basic features of a Kinect device (or any time-of-flight camera), the next thing many users look for is skeleton tracking.

Skeleton tracking means to easily retrieve different joints of the human skeleton from depth images. The most famous solutions (or the only ones) to do so are the Microsoft Kinect SDK or the OpenNI framework. If you are looking for a Free software solution though, you are out of luck. Microsoft’s SDK, apart from obviously being close, does not even allow a commercial use of it which is something the OpenNI framework does but this is as far as the meaning of the word “open” in OpenNI goes… You cannot adapt/improve their code nor learn from it. To solve this problem, Igalia has just created Skeltrack. Free Software Skeleton Tracking Skeltrack is a Free and Open Source Software library whose goal is to provide easy to use human skeleton tracking.
