This video is the result of a project realized at the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, in the Multimodal Interactions and Interfaces course, in Autumn 2011.

For the final Street View implementation, cf. http://youtu.be/C9PJFC7Z3Hc

It consists in using the Microsoft Kinect console to control navigation in Google Earth and Google Street View.

The user can use his own body to move the camera in Google Earth, instead of the usual keyboard/mouse paradigm.

Special thanks to Samer for lending us the Kinect!

Uses: Google Earth plugin, Kinect SDK, Microsoft Visual Studio Express C# 2010.

  • I am trying to implement this idea myself. I have a question. Did you use a web form or what to be able to use this in visual studio?

  • @FrontierEducationTec Yeah we encountered some troubles with that too. First we used a web browser component, but we wanted to have some transparency, which is not really possible with the Google Earth plugin. So we used a plugin called Awesomium, but it turned out to suck. Then we used a WPF application, but it sucked too, so we came back to the web browser component in a Windows Form Application. Without transparency.
