This video shows the first efforts to use Kinect to control mainstream games, in this case WoW. The interface is quite complete though it seems that you need to learn a lot of movements in order to properly control the character using this Kinect Hack.

Merry Christmas everyone... using Kinect!

Air Hockey, a game for Open Kinect

Interacting in a virtual reality world with Kinect

This Kinect Hack is an interface which allows to connect your movements to a virtual character in a virtual world. Even better, with a head-mounted display (HMD) tracking your point of view...

Interacting with a virtual piece of cloth...

Using a Kinect Hack to interact with a virtual object... in this case just a piece of cloth (however, it looks to me more like a rubber sheet).

Star Wars world animation using Kinect

Star Wars world animation using Kinect. Real people interacting in a virtual world.

Amazing Miku's (and her friends) choreography using Kinect

Try your own choreography with the character Miku in MikuMikuDance using your body and this Kinect Hack (available for download).

Really useful Kinect hack: Controlling your XBMC media player with Kinect

After years without real evolution in the way TV is controlled, it looks amazing that the change will be due to a gaming device. Just moving your hand to change a channel, choose or play a movie... looks like a more intuitive way to control a media center while sitting on the coach than one of these 1000 button controllers.

Amazing!

Be the character you want with Kinect

The middleware OpenNI and Kinect allow to easily extract 3D skeleton information from an scene. This is used here to control your favorite 3D character... awesome!

Control your quadrotor using gestures with this Kinect Hack

This Kinect Hack allows you to control the AR Droid helicopter using gestures... the movement of the helicopter looks pretty stable and consistent with the movements.... Amazing!

A Kinect based robotic pet following you everywhere you go

The new OpenNI middleware is opening a lot of new possibilities to the programmers. This robotic Kinect Hack tracks your movements and follows you... while this could be done without Kinect there existed always a robustness issue which has now been solved.

Amazing!

Kinect as a controller for sex games... what's next?

A new great-looking invisibility effect using Kinect

Some time ago a video showed a similar effect of transparency and refraction using Kinect. However, this remake of the hollow man effect looks even greater!

Amazing!

Controlling 3D maps with gestures using Kinect

Special effect that creates a real-time temporally shifted echo

In this Kinect Hack IR video stream and depth information are used to buffer and create a temporally shifted copy of the world. The result is impressive!

Using skeleton tracking to make your manga character dance

This video uses the recently released openNI interface to control a virtual manga character... it seems that the skeleton tracking engine of the device works pretty well.

Amazing!

Robot car navigation and obstacle avoidance using Kinect

What can you do with a laptop, a Kinect sensor and a mini car? Yeah, an autonomous robot. Here we can see how this wheeled robot is capable of determining the best route using the depth information provided by the Kinect device.

Skeletal tracking working fluently with Kinect in a PC

Skeletal tracking working fluently! The developed software requires a step of calibration, but the tracking of the body, arms and legs seems to work great!

An Air Guitar prototype using the Kinect

In this video we can see the first steps toward a virtual guitar implementation... impressive!.

Head tracking for panorama picture navigation using Kinect

Here Kinect is used to track the position and angle of your head. This information is then mapped into the point of view of a panorama photography...

Minority report's interface using Kinect. MIT experiment.

Using Kinect and a hand/finger tracking software this group emulates the interface seen in Minority Report... amazingly fluid!

Controlling your monster with Kinect

In this video we can see how Kinect can be used to control digital puppets. In this case a monster...

Awesome!

Rendering your room with Kinect

This video shows a 3D scanner prototype. The algorithm takes as input the mesh scream generated by the Kinect device and searches and tracks key points used to match the topology between two consecutive frames. This can be used for example to scan large environments that cannot be fitted into a single shot of the device.

Special effect using a 3D Vector Field adquired with Kinect

Depth information from the Kinect sensor is transformed into a 3D vector field... This can be used later on for different special effects. In this video the author interacts with snow particles creating a spectacular visual effect.

Navigate through complex molecular systems using Kinect

Kinect shows all its power when it is used to interact with 3D environments. In this video it is shown how Kinect can be used to rotate and navigate through complex molecular systems. Besides rotation it allows different kinds of gestures...

amazing!

Quadrotor autonomous navigation with Kinect sensor

In this video the Kinect sensor is attached to a Quadrotor helicopter... which recognizes the closest obstacle and uses this information for indoors navigation.

Amazing!

DJing in a party with Kinect

This video show Kinect being used to generate al the visual effects projected on the screen in a party ... first real application of a Kinect Hack?

Amazing!

Creating ghost furniture with a Kinect Hack

With Kinect you can record a given 3D scene and navigate it afterwards... this is done in this video with ghost furniture. Once the furniture is recorded, it is taken out... but it is still there!

My stuffed hands! Real time depth dependent morphing

This Kinect Hack presents a depth dependent real time morphing exercise. It looks great... even without a cat.

Control a flying helicopter moving your arm

In this video the kinect device it is used to control a RC helicopter, like if you had the Force. It looks just awesome!

Real time invisibility effect using Kinect

The background is refracted using depth information. Awesome!

Human-computer interface using Kinect... zooming, sliding, rotating.

The group &some is also trying to emulate the interface seen in Minority Report ;-)

Kinect recognizes the opening and closing of your hand to grab virtual dots

In this video we can see a possible interface using a Kinect Hack. The device recognizes the opening and closing of your hand to grab virtual objects.

Awesome possibilities!
