Berkeley 3-D Object Dataset

http://kinectdata.com/ A quality depth sensor, the Microsoft Kinect, is now in millions of homes. Yet robust household object detection is still not a reality. To get there, we are collecting a massive, crowd-sourced, and challenging 3-D object dataset.

The Kinect effect: how Harmonix mastered Dance Central's menus

Dance Central has quickly emerged as one of the best-received titles for Microsoft's Kinect . Not only is the game great, but the smaller details like the way the menu system works are also superior to the other current Kinect offerings. Since gesture-based controls are such a new frontier, the developers at Harmonix had a difficult time creating an intuitive control scheme for navigating menus. The solution? Creating lots of prototypes and simply seeing what worked.
http://123kinect.com/dance-central-ui-design/6439/ I don’t know if you guys have tried it yet, but last night I started playing the demo of Dance Central (which came with Kinect Adventures) and was -immediately- impressed with the game, and I didn’t even start to dance yet… The Dance Central UI rocks! The only two games I had played before Dance Central on Kinect were Kinect Adventures and Your Shape Fitness Evolved, both which feature a menu in which you have to hold your hand over buttons for a second or two, after which it will be selected.
