Watch: Kinect does the Minority Report right

Now we've seen our fair share of awesome Kinect hacks since its launch, but this one definitely takes the cake on my book. From the folks at MIT, check out their hand detection system using Microsoft's highly versatile device, a la Minority Report.


 

 

According to MIT, the project uses the Kinect sensor and the recently released libfreenect driver for interfacing with the Kinect in linux. "The graphical interface and the hand detection software were written at MIT to interface with the open source robotics package 'ROS', developed by Willow Garage (willowgarage.com). The hand detection software showcases the abilities of the Point Cloud Library (PCL), a part of ROS that MIT has been helping to optimize. The hand detection software is able to distinguish hands and fingers in a cloud of more than 60,000 points at 30 frames per second, allowing natural, real time interaction," according to the team.

this is really cool, looks like owning a kinect is really paying off for some serious hobbyists!

Smells like fanboyism.

No, you can't do it with Move and you can't do it with Kinect either, because this is homebrew written specifically by MIT (I doubt you could re-create it). The Kinect itself is just the hardware - 3D cameras and RGB sensors, that's all.

Very impressive performance on that video, by the way. Something might actually come out from it !

I own a ps3. MGS4 and Uncharted are in my top 10. I'm just saying that Move looks more like a high def wii and brings little new to the table. Kinect is trying something new.

So in other words, the kinect's issues aren't with the hardware, but with the software adapting it.

agreed. M$ has created a fantastic piece of hardware here, they just created it for the wrong uses. Watching this video the only thing I could think of is a touchless iphone XD
