OpenKinect drivers (Win7, Linux, OS X) – goo.gl Reverse engineer Kinect USB – goo.gl UPDATE info: Subject: PC oriented Kinect hacks Stories: full control of Win7, iPad integrated depth and view change, skeleton tracking reproduce projected bird “puppet”. Exact transcript: Greetings! Since the initial Kinect hack and the creation of compatible PC drivers (on Linux) the internet was flooded with many interesting experiments, some of which may very well lead to comprehensible software releases “revolutionizing” the way you interact with your computer. Might as well begin with what seems like the most promising Kinect enabled program suit that according to its developers will soon be released to the public. The CEO of Evoluce, Wolfgang Herfurtner, offers “multitouch” and gesture computing solutions meant to be implemented in the entire interface of Windows 7. Kinect controls Win7 and several multitouch applications on top of that. The software is based on the latest Evoluce Multitouch Input Management driver that offers many APIs like TUIO, Flash and Java. As Windows 7 was built to support multitouch, the Kinect can seamlessly be integrated to support a lot of applications. The programs that already support multitouch are Google Earth, Internet Explorer 9, Windows Media Centre, and plenty others that natively support touch input. This certainly opens up numerous new ways in which you can interact with your PC. Wondering what you can do with a hacked Kinect on your Mac? First …
Video Rating: 4 / 5
Part 1 of full gameplay from the Batman: Arkham Asylum Demo. Game running at 1920×1200, all settings at maximum, PhysX at High (maximum), Vsync Off, 4xAA. Running under Vista 64-bit and Forceware 182.50 with maximum quality in Forceware CP. Note: I’m using 4xAA in the video to ensure consistently high FPS given the performance impact of the FRAPS video recording software. However I normally use 8xQ AA when playing the game, although even 4xAA is sufficient to remove noticeable jaggedness. At maximum settings, when using 4xAA I get around 40-60FPS average; when using 8xQAA I get around 30-40FPS average. Full system specs are here: www.tweakguides.com
