The Xbox One is out, along with a new Kinect sensor, and this time around Microsoft didn’t waste any time making this 3D vision sensor available for Windows. [programming4fun] got his hands on the new Kinect v2 sensor and
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQZQeCumzcA to import anything into a virtual environment.
We’ve seen [programming4fun]‘s work before with an extremely odd and original build (http://hackaday.com/2011/07/02/3d-display-using-a-kinect/) that turns any display into a 3D display with the help of a Kinect v1 sensor. This time around, [programming] isn’t just using a Kinect to display a 3D object, he’s also using a Kinect to capture 3D data.
[programming] captured himself playing a few chords on a guitar with the new Kinect v2 sensor. This was saved to a custom file format that can be played back in the Unity engine. With the help of a Kinect v1, [programming4fun] can pan and tilt around this virtual model simply by moving his head.
If that’s not enough, [programming] has also included support for the Oculus Rift, turning the Unity-based virtual copy of himself into something he can interact with in a video game.
As far as we can tell, this is the first build on Hackaday using the new Kinect sensor. We asked what everyone was going to do (http://hackaday.com/2013/05/22/ask-hackaday-what-are-we-going-to-do-with-the-new-kinect/) with this new improved hardware, and from [programming]‘s demo, it seems like there’s still a lot of unexplored potential with the new Xbox One spybox.
