Yesterday, we wrote about a cool Kinect hack which created an amazing puppet show while connected to a laptop. Today, this high-end toy from Microsoft has been hacked and exploited again by developer Chris Rojas who utilizes the distance data to render objects in neon cubes such that the size of the cube depends on the object’s distance from the Kinect sensor.
To make things really intriguing, Chris hooked this up to an app called TouchOSC on his iPad with which he had the option to define the various “planes of interest” by means of sliders. The iPad accelerometer also came in handy which he used to zoom and pan the virtual camera.
What actually can be achieved when the whole Kinect motion sensor + iPad accelerometer combo has been brought together, can be seen in the following video:
