A Round-up of Kinect Hacks

It was only a matter of time - here's a mixed bag of the latest Kinect hacks...enjoy!



"I used the Xbox Kinect sensor to extract the silhouette and project it back as a shadow to the prison corridor. There are 3 seconds delay between the shadow captured and projected, make it a relation between a person and his past."


"Using Mac OSX and OpenFrameworks. A single camera with a Z depth. Impressive results. Thanks to the openframeworks developer community."


"Made with Cinder and the Kinect sensor. Runs in realtime."

Amazing Architectural Paintings by Zaha Hadid

http://www.zaha-hadid.com

"Zaha Hadid is the most prominent contemporary female architect in the world.  Hadid is the only woman architect who has won the most prestigious award in architecture, the Pritzker Prize. But beyond the usual sketching and rendering involved in the architectural process, Hadid has a unique practice of painting as a means of exploration and conceptualization of space.  While her buildings are highly regarded for the way in which she challenges the norms in architecture and its use of space, her paintings are often considered equally unusual and impressive." from http://sites.google.com/site/allenhadid/
