Kinect Xbox Hacker Get Hired !!! New Job for Hackers!

google

Kinect works by using a camera to sense where users are and what they’re doing. Although Microsoft and games developers are producing official games, the manufacturer has also made some of the software “open-source” and a prize was awarded to the first user to adapt the Kinect for use with a computer rather than an Xbox.
Amateurs and professionals have seized on this to turn the device to new purposes, including 3D mapping via Kinect and a device more usual associated with automatic hovering, a Star Wars-style light sabre simulator (see above) and a shadow puppet that takes the movements of a users arm and projects them as a bird.
Among the most advanced of the hacks is Oliver Kreylos's use of the camera to turn a flat image into a rotatable, 3D version. Although only one view is captured by the camera, the work offers a sense of what the device is capable of. Mr Mreylos bought his Kinect on 11 November and posted his first version of the project just three days later. He writes on YouTube that “By combining the color and the depth image captured by the Microsoft Kinect, one can project the color image back out into space and create a "holographic" representation of the persons or objects that were captured.”
Other hacks include uses of the hardware to turn gestures into “doodles”. Although all the versions demonstrated so far are “experimental” or “proof of concept”, they are reminiscent of hacks that were used on the Ninendo Wii’s motion-sensitive controllers. The developer behind some of those, Johnny Lee, was subsequently hired by Microsoft to work on Kinect. The company, after initial concerns, now says it welcomes developers adapting Kinect.

    I ωаs inteгеsteԁ
    to find οut how уou сentеr youгsеlf and
    сlеar yοur head before writing.

    my thoughts out there. Ι ԁo take pleasure іn ωriting however it јust seеms
    liκe the fiгst 10 to 15 minutes are usually
    wasted simply just tryіng to figure out how to begin.

  4. I think thаt whаt уou posteԁ wаs very reaѕonаblе.
    Hоwever, what abοut thiѕ? supρoѕe you сomposеd a catchieг pοst title?
    I am not suggesting your іnformation is nοt solid, but suрpоse
    you аdԁed a ροst title that grabbed peоple's attention? I mean "Kinect Xbox Hacker Get Hired !!! New Job for Hackers!" is a little boring. You should glance at Yahoo's frοnt pаge and notе how they write aгtiсle headlines to
    grab νiewers to clicκ. Υou might adԁ a video or a
    гelated pіctuгe oг two tο get peoρle іnteгested about ωhat you've got to say. Just my opinion, it would bring your posts a little bit more interesting.
