How to Hack Kinect (Officially)

chris.pirillo.com /how-to-control-your-windows-desktop-with-kinect/ The Minority Report featured some incredible theoretical technologies, some of which have continued to interest geeks for years. One of these technologies was a system in which you are able to interact with the user-interface with a few hand gestures Now, imagine if you were able to control Windows 7 in much the same way?

LockerGnome community member Kevin Connolly has managed to recreate this using the Kinect SDK in a project he calls the KinectNUI (Natural User Interface). Currently, the project works with a single Kinect and any modern Windows PC.

You can find out more information and download a copy of the project's source code here:

You can see a whole series on the KinectNUI project on Kevin's YouTube channel:
