Running quake with a kinect and a hurley

Twitter @diarmuid
I used the kinect attached to a linux laptop with a python based web server serving up point data to an imac. The imac runs a java program that calls the linux web server and generates key and mouse events. Quake live is set up with the appropriate keystrokes. When the java program starts it gives me 15 seconds to get onto Quake. As I move my hurley around infront of the kinect, you can see the quake environment moving appropriately.

The video resolution is poor because of some upload issue.

@woodyfly well that's not fair :-(, I'm ok at quake :-).

[woodyfly]

@citadelmontages

Same could be said for yourself. However, I'm good at quake and you're not so I win. ha ha ha

@woodyfly This argument isn't going anywhere and it's not going to go anywhere, kind of pointless seeing as you want to believe what you want.

@citadelmontages

Actually, exactly. 3D vision on PC's is a new technology, has only been here for a few years. How the hell can you say it's not primitive if it's the first generation of it? You're a fool for not being able to see the big picture.

@woodyfly That's like saying "3d is primitive, wait a few years and you'll see, we will have holograms and shit loloolol".

@citadelmontages

No, you're just stupid. I'm saying kinect is a primitive technology when it comes to motion sensor gaming. Give or take 10 or 20 years and you will see how right I am.

[citadelmontages]

@woodyfly then you're either a troll or blind or stupid if you believe that.

[woodyfly]

@citadelmontages

Yes I believe that. Shit is whack as of right now.
