Interactive Puppet Prototype with hacked Kinect

[eddp777]

I would bang that bird ! ;)

[BlackjojoSoto]

Hacking a Microsoft Kinect ... with a Mac???? THE HELL WHERE YOU THINKING???

[jayce1983]

The next step is to track the shapes and display the appropriate animal, multiple characters.. and then have some voice modulators that can alter once voice from the mic to mimic a particular character. These could then be interactive stories one could tell to their children at great distances.. like a bedtime story.

[troy1002x]

Augmented reality glasses(Shows the stuff)+Kinects above and below(to judge the distance of stuff and your movement)= amazing

[Dryftburn]

Isn't that the same guy who made Raving Rabids for Kinect?

[subtenk0]

how is it hacked? I thought M$ made is open source..

[mortaloldguy]

Not impress with this at all. Look at that lag time!

[DJTommy812]

will the delays ever be worked out or is that permanent on kinect?

[joshig1983]

@DJTommy812 The delays are permanently kinected to kinect.

[KandOJ23]

I love you #gamedesigner

[BikerboyAJC]

gotta teach me how to do taht shadow puppet

[GreenkirbyJapan]

I heard kinect can also be used for 3D modeling... :0

[InSaNiTyReiGnZ]

How can I learn to do this?

[Otjcaws]

@camdixon yeah I am. Thanks.

[KlonoaPS1]

I'm gonna scare my cat with this!

[MackBlayz]

Lets just have them work together.

[someoneonlylol]

microsoft kinect with apple macbook...wow lol

[MackBlayz]

@someoneonlylol Lets just have them work together.

[xHAZARD78x]

looks like kinect is being used for just about everything BUT gaming

[mikemike679]

@xHAZARD78x dumbass.

[RabbitBlade]

well done so awesome.

[Decembirth]

I hope Microsoft notices how far they can take Kinect and perhaps cater to some of these hackers / 3D artists. I know weird to say, but these videos really show how sensitive and amazing Kinect is.

[inr21sevier]

i want how to vids who needs video games any more with this thing @KinectHacks

[Sc2rocks]

Awesome job. It would be super cool if you guys made a game like mine craft work with kinect. Keep up the good work.

[guimilan]

Awesome work! Loved it!

By the way, to all those jealous losers out there. If you want to criticize the people who made this video, then you should try to do better than they did. I can't wait to see what you can do with your dild... I mean, PS Move.

[mrdotbryce]

emily looks satisfied

[7rooper]

This can be achieved with a conventional web cam because the depth capture Kinect is capable of scan is not being used. Not impressive.

[Otjcaws]

Good work but need to fix the lag.

[camdixon]

@Otjcaws I think it's funny how you call it "lag". Obviously you're a pro at optimizing graphical libraries and algorithms. Good call bro.

[Anfieldb0y]

Meh. Move is better because it has some games. Beware the goa

[kokilot]

Fake

[nooneknowsnothing]

@kokilot what is fake here?

[nazurea]

@kokilot ITS NOT FAKE DUMBASS.... go to bed KID.

[InsensibleGuy]

Nice

[XS7SXSNIPER]

wow good work

[RedostarFirst]

dalays are gay

[firstmiddlelastname]

Am i the only one that was waiting on the dude to fake punch the bird and it to fall down like it was knocked out?

[SAUDIMYSTERIOUS]

sooooooooo co0o0o0o0ol

[1tuangelyto]

Wow me parece excelente que estén buscando la manera de sacarle todo el jugo posible al kinect... Me cae que si fue una buena inversión

[pb0o6]

IS this how professionalish studios do animation, except they where suits with the points and map them to points on a digital character?

[RayFeelaveR]

you idiots realize the Kinect doesn't have a projector don't you? fucking morons.

[TheBebop1]

@RayFeelaveR you realize that you can get a projector and connect it to your computer dont you?

[RayFeelaveR]

so sick of the M$ funded viral shit, Kinect is nothing more than a $150 10 year old EYETOY. It's shit, no 1:1 tracking like The MOVE Controller set up, just laggy crap games so they have to fund all these lame ass viral videos to make it seem worth anything and it's NOT.

[baecksen]

@RayFeelaveR

Excuse me if I say that, but you have no idea.

In three years, most of all input be done.

In the military and the space is already running so it is just too expensive

[chris0ner]

@RayFeelaveR

Fanboy is mad because Kinect is LIGHTYEARS ahead of your shitty Move Dildo copy of a wiimote; look at all the rage ensuing in his comments! Don't be upset it's selling more and has more praise/hype, you sad fuck.

To the people who made this wonderful video: keep up the good work! Don't let jealous losers like this guy effect you! Keep on exploring the possibilities <3

[Zebonka]

See this is cool technology, but if I had a chick visiting me, I wouldn't be wasting my time with my freaking Kinect.

[FirebirdBeats]

AWESOME!

[ItSMeMrMagic]

This is MADNESS!!!

[PirateDen89]

Thy guy is from SPARTA!!

[omma911]

Brilliant idea! awesome! :D

[eduardoyanez54]

please show how u hack this any body!@

[k0ksii]

The girl is hawt, give moar pics pls

[rorosamy]

what will happend if he will whip is cock out?

[GoldDeagle55]

How was it reflecting so well onto the counter top?

[tristkiss]

These hackers are just awesome! So many times I've heard haters talk about the limitations of Kinect, and again and again these folks are proving just how incredible this tech is! This is one the BEST demos I've seen, plus it's so darn cute and proves the Kinect can track subtle movements. Hope MS & Game Devs are taking notes!

Keep 'em coming! ^_^

[MDxm3000]

@tristkiss yeah, the thing is with kinect, most gamers hate response time latencies and stuff like that. So that is mainly why this particular tech recieves some hate. It's just too noticable when it lags behind especially in a game going 60 frames a second.

[whoandu]

@MDxm3000 this tech is pretty cool though, maybe in a few decades they can produce one with better hardware (and be at the level with those system used in film industry for mocap)

[yawn2000]

Hi I'm sure you mean no harm but I would appreciate it that you don't just take my vimeo video and upload it to YouTube. I think its nice that you have made a site to archive the efforts but re-uploading existing YouTube and Vimeo videos to your own account denies the ability for the people making the work to see the feedback and comments to their work.

All the best,

Theo Watson

[Kiyodude]

@yawn2000 hey, shut the fuck up

[tennis9kid]

@Kiyodude he made this video you imbecile he has every right to say that

[KingOfAceZ1]

@yawn2000 Where is this video on you're channel?

[TheAtariGuy]

reminds me of Kevin from Up

[immerbreight]

you live in the future

[FuzzyHead007]

Keep on programming, its simply amazing, what youre doing! ;D

[Kenryuenryu]

rocks

[Besiuk]

ur the best :D

[Ihatecoldnnnirror]

Das ist echt cool^^
