Kinect tutorial 1: First steps - Robotica Go to root: PhD-3D-Object-Tracking Microsoft Kinect device. This series of tutorials will explain the usage of a depth camera like Kinect for "serious" researching purposes. As you may know, Kinect is in fact an affordable depth sensor, developed with technology from PrimeSense, based on infrarred structured light method. It also has a common camera (which makes it a RGB-D device), a microphone and a motorized pivot. Its use is not limited to playing with a Xbox360 console, you can plug it to a computer and use it like any other sensor. Since its release on November 2010, it has gained a lot of popularity, specially among the scientific community. The new Xbox One ships with an upgraded version of Kinect with enhanced resolution that is able to detect your facial expression and track every one of your fingers, but the PC development-ready version will not be released until 2014. NOTE: The tutorials are written for Linux platforms. You will need the following: Precompiled PCL for Ubuntu
Este cubo de Rubik tiene el tamaño de un edificio. Y se puede resolver Puzzle Facade es un proyecto visual de Javier Lloret que traslada el reto de resolver un cubo de Rubik a la fachada del edificio de Ars Electronica en Linz, Austria. La interfaz para manejarlo es un cubo de Rubik a escala normal conectado con el sistema de iluminación de la fachada del edificio: cuando se giran los lados del cubo —que no tiene colores— la iluminación de la fachada cambia en consonacia. El reto está en resolver el cubo de Rubik viendo sólo dos lados simultáneamente debido al tamaño del edificio, aunque el jugador puede girar el cubo que sostiene en las manos para ver los colores que hay en el resto de lados, los que no son visibles. Javier Lloret participó también en la instalación Lummo Blocks en Madrid que permitía jugar una partida de Tetris interactuando con la facha del anterior edificio del Medialab-Prado.

Infografía muestra 60 comandos de voz que Google Now entiende Una cosa es saber que un dispositivo o una página web pueda entender lo que decimos y otra muy distinta es saber lo que consigue entender y lo que no. Si hace poco os mostramos lo que Kinect, de la nueva Xbox One, consigue reconocer, y hace pocas horas os hablamos de la funcionalidad del Moto X que permite reconocer nuestra voz para buscar con solo decir “Ok Google“, funcionalidad que ha llegado a Chrome en forma de extensión, ahora le toca el turno a Google Now. Os dejamos con el excelente trabajo, para que practiquéis con vuestro teléfono:
1. Kinect Controls Windows 7 – Win&I; 2. Kinect Hacks Are Going Way Too Far | Utopian Frontiers Foundation Ever heard of Microsoft Kinect Open NI Prime Sense NITE? I'm not a program guy who writes code, nor a hacker. I'm just drawing your attention to stuff I admittedly don't fully understand nor, if you'll pardon the pun, kinect with. Yet I bet many of you do kinect with Xbox 360 and related software/hardware. That's where the hacking is happening and it has some people worried for the future of gaming and exactly what we're doing and/or about to do with interactive gaming and related technologies. Here's some background info as provided with the Video Games Awesome Trailer Tuesday piece on hacking, which is the second video you'll be watching - START background info - Kinect for Xbox 360, or simply Kinect (originally known by the code name Project Natal), is a "controller-free gaming and entertainment experience" by Microsoft for the Xbox 360 video game platform, and may later be supported by PCs via Windows 8.

10 Useful Findings About How People View Websites Eyetracking and research have studied how people look at websites. Here are 10 useful findings you can use. 1. Top left corner gets the attention first When users land on your site, their eye path starts from the upper left corner, and moves on from there. Similar findings came from a study by Yahoo. Are you familiar with the Gutenberg diagram? Image credit The fourth, bottom right terminal area is where you should place your call to action. Designers can download a useful Gutenberg Diagram PSD overlay here. 2. Most people don’t read, but scan. Eyetracking visualizations show that users often read website content in an F-shaped pattern: two horizontal stripes followed by a vertical stripe. Image credit This is why you want your value proposition in the top and why your menu should be either top horizontal or on the left, vertical. How to design for F-patterns? A similar study called this the golden triangle. 3. Make introductory paragraphs in boldface or larger font size. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
KinectEDucation Interfície d'usuari La interfície d'usuari és el medi amb què l'usuari pot comunicar-se amb una màquina, un equip o una computadora, i comprèn tots els punts de contacte entre l'usuari i l'equip; normalment solen ser fàcils d'entendre i fàcils d'accionar. Per treballar amb un sistema, els usuaris han de ser capaços de controlar-lo i avaluar-ne l'estat. Per exemple, en conduir un automòbil, el conductor fa servir el volant per controlar la direcció del vehicle, i els pedals de l'accelerador, del fre i del canvi de marxes per controlar la velocitat del vehicle. Per a aquesta finalitat existeixen aquesta mena de dispositius. Les interfícies d'usuari són també conegudes per les seves sigles en anglés, "Human Machine Interface (HMI)". Els sistemes HMI podem pesar-los com una "finestra" d'un procés. A) Una interfície de hardware, a nivell dels dispositius utilitzats per ingressar, processar i entregar les dades:teclat , ratolí i pantalla visualitzadora.

Finger Tracking with Kinect SDK (and the Kinect for XBox 360 Device) | Coding4Fun Kinect Projects Now we all know the only the Kinect for Windows Device is officially supported when using the Kinect for Windows SDK, but that said, when I saw this project with the academic level documentation, let alone the great code, I just had to highlight it here. This project explained step by step how to perform finger and hand tracking with the Kinect for XBOX with the official Kinect SDK.Finger and hand tracking are included in the field of the human-computer interaction (HCI). The goal of this work is to describe a robust and efficient method to track the hand and the fingers in real time using the Kinect device, but taking into account the Kinect for XBOX limitations, like the lack of the NEAR MODE.First of all the project is focused in develop a Windows application using only libraries and functions that XBOX supports.

Horizon 2D-3D, TAT nos trae nuevas ideas para las interfaces Os hemos hablado en diferentes ocasiones sobre The Astonishing Tribe, más conocidos como TAT, unos suecos que en el mundo de la telefonía móvil son conocidos por el desarrollos de interfaces, algunas conceptuales, y otras llevadas a la práctica (en el primer teléfono Android). En esta ocasión nos presentan unas interfaces que juegan con las dos y tres dimensiones, bautizadas como TAT Horizon 2D-3D. La idea consiste en cambiar la representación de los contenidos dependiendo de la orientación del móvil, basándose en el acelerómetro/giroscopio de los teléfons. Vamos a ver un ejemplo con mapas: En el caso de los mapas podemos ver como con un giro de muñeca podemos ver representada la información como un mapa 2D convencional o un más atractivo modo 3D, pero el cambio no se produce de una vez, sino en diferentes niveles para que el paso de uno a otro sea natural y dinámica. La misma idea es transportada a la lista de contactos, vamos a verla: Sitio oficial | TAT.
