The bounty is now $3k – “Software giant says engineer’s linking of camera-based system to Windows 7 PC does not constitute hacking” November 8, 2010 AT 11:01 pm This is silly, so now we’ve made it $3k – “Software giant says engineer’s linking of camera-based system to Windows 7 PC does not constitute hacking“… “Kinect for Xbox 360 has not been hacked–in any way–as the software and hardware that are part of Kinect for Xbox 360 have not been modified.

Videos: The Best Kinect Hacks And Mods One Month In The Kinect is an impressive gaming accessory; no one is going to dispute that. But it’s the fact that the hardware is a $150 USB device that is so impressive that it warrants its own Wikipedia article: ” The device features an “RGB camera, depth sensor and multi-array microphone running proprietary software”,[21] which provides full-body 3D motion capture, facial recognition and voice recognition capabilities…The Kinect sensor’s microphone array enables the Xbox 360 to conduct acoustic source localization and ambient noise suppression, allowing for things such as headset-free party chat over Xbox Live.” Clearly, Microsoft hit a home run on this one. The development community instantly latched onto the device and nearly immediately started working on mods, hacks, and shenanigans.
Open Kinect Contest: $2000 in prizes I’m starting a contest for people that do cool things with a Kinect. See the details below. Before I joined Google, I was a grad student interested in topics like computer vision, motion self-tracking, laser scanners–basically any neat or unusual sensing device. That’s why I was so excited to hear about the Kinect, which is a low-cost ($150) peripheral for the Xbox. MadLab So you like MadMapper, but want more features ? Here comes the MAD_Lab, a laboratory for experimental softwares. It contains a bunch of little apps, each focusing on a special aspect we want to integrate into MadMapper, but didn’t find the time to implement nicely in the initial release. Please note that since these apps have a highly experimental flavour, we do not recommend using them in production. The Mad Lab apps are powered by Syphon You’ll need to be a registered user in order to run these following apps.
