Our favorite Kinect hacks so far - marcan's work |

The hack that started it all, marcan shows off his open source Kinect driver for PC that supports depth and RGB images. To quote marcan:
"I just got this to work: a fully open source Kinect driver supporting the depth and RGB cameras."
Marcan strikes back again, this time showing off his laser tracking projection concept using the Kinect and OpenCV (an open source computer vision library). According to marcan:
"I finally downloaded OpenCV (an open source computer vision library) and spent some time learning about how to use it. It was actually surprisingly painless once I got the hang of it, and there are lots of things you can do once you feed it an image (in this case, the depth image). What I did was rig it to track contours on the depth image, and attempt to pick out a rectangular object."
"Then, by using the detected location of the corners, I can apply it as a perspective transform to my laser projector. The end result is that the cardboard box I'm holding becomes a "virtual screen" that is tracked by the laser projection in real time and in perspective :)"

Take cars for example, if others didn't use the idea and evolved it, it wouldn't be what they're today.
