Kinect as a Nintendo controller on the PC

Proof of concept. Celebrating 25 years of Mario.

I programmed it to recognize my motions and passed the virtual button presses to the NES emulator. I could have placed a simulated keypad right in front of me that I can press with my hands, but I thought full body gestures were more in the spirit of Kinect. Of course, Mario isn't designed to be played like this, so this is really really hard.

Drivers using OpenKinect, NES emulation using FCEUX.

He totally looks like someone with down syndrome running. Pretty freaking cool though.

It's cool, but the technology isn't there yet. This looks like it'd be easier to actually pick up a real turtle shell and toss it at a real goomba. Save the fact they don't exists irl.
