Android Kinect Projector Interface w/ System Access

The Galaxy Nexus is running a build of Android compiled from AOSP. This allows the Android TUIO client to be signed with the system keys so that it can inject touch events into the system. Simple Kinect touch running on a Windows PC is used to send TUIO events to the Android device. The Galaxy Nexus is connected to the projector with a MHL adatper.

Awesome job... I've been working on getting the Kinect to work natively with Android devices (specifically the Motorola Xoom since it has its own separate micro HDMI port)... would you like to collaborate?

[Colin Edwards]

That was actually the next thing I was going to try. No reason to have the PC if the Xoom can run software just fine.

The power of open source. Nice.

Hi! Can I ask you something regarding the TUIOforAndroid? Have you followed the READ ME Section provided by the developer? Or Just install the available TUIOService-Signed.apk on your Galaxy nexus?

[Rafael Rosa]

Nice job, man!

@corygarcia300c, maybe you should develop something better! :-)..

That shit sucks

If you're all about touching you should google and read this blog post by Bret Victor titled: "A Brief Rant On The Future Of Interaction Design"

It may change your view. I did.

i like the idea but my feet and legs need a rest can you use laser pointer or something while sitting down

[TheMagnatar]

a bit yeah, but infairness the kinect was designed specifically for the xbox, these problems are guaranteed when people start tweaking it for something else. I am all about touching,no interest in leaning sign language. I am sure i will be forced to eventually though.
