"Proof of concept of tracking and rendering a lightsaber in real time using a Kinect hooked up to a PC. Imagine the possibilities."
"Best viewed in fullscreen 480p. I track a wooden stick and I overlay the light glow on the computer. Drivers using OpenKinect, image processing, tracking, and rendering using OpenCV. Audio recorded and processed using Audacity and played using libao."
Taking the whole Kinect hackery into new heights, youtuber petermmoz and his crew created the keyboard anywhere Kinect hack. According to the dev:
"Next iteration of OpenKinect Piano. Demoing placing the keyboard wherever you like. Also, attempting to play a duet (inspired by the movie "Big"). Made possible by libfreenect (http://openkinect.org) and coded in python. Works at 30fps with no lag!"
