[Francois] over at 1024 Architecture has been working on a project we think you’ll be likely to see in a professional music video before too long. Using his Kinect sensor, ha has been tracking skeletal movements, adding special effects to the resulting wire frame with Quartz Composer. While this idea isn’t new, the next part is. He takes the QC tweaked video stream and then projects it back over the performer using MadMapper to match the video to the body movements, recording the resultant display.
The project started out with a few hiccups, including a noticeable delay between the body tracking and the display. It caused the performer to have to move more slowly than he would like, so things had to be tweaked. [Francois] first tested the latency between his computer and the projector by displaying a timecode representation on the screen as well as via the projector. He found the projector to have a latency of 1 frame at 60 fps, which wasn’t too bad. This led him to believe the culprit was his Kinect, and he was right. There was a 6 frame delay, so he locked the video output to 30 fps in hopes of cutting that delay in half.
The effect is slightly reminiscent of Tron, but with more distortion. We can’t wait to see more projects similar to this one in the future.
The resulting video embedded below is pretty cool in our opinion, but you can judge for yourself.

Lavalit have released a new SVN build of Openbor for the Dreamcast, Wii, Wiz, GP2X, Dingoo, PC, Linux and PSP

OpenBOR
----------------------
OpenBOR is a continuation of the Beats Of Rage 2D game engine, which was originally
created by the wonderful folks over at http://www.senileteam.com.

History
----------------------
In 2004, Senile Team released Beats of Rage, a free beat-'em-up for DOS inspired
by SEGA's Streets of Rage series and using sprites from SNK Playmore's King of
Fighters series. The game spread only by word of mouth, but it nonetheless
amassed popularity very quickly. Senile Team soon released an edit pack allowing
anyone interested to create a mod for the BOR engine.
In 2005, Kirby2000 asked Senile Team to open the source code to BOR. They
agreed, and OpenBOR was born. Development on the engine was continued by the
community, and still is to this day.

Retailer says machine is currently tracking at 71 per cent ahead of record holder PS3

Having revealed earlier in the week that the 3DS had already broken pre-order records at the retailer, Amazon has now revealed the true extent of the console's impressive performance.
At the time of writing 3DS has 71 per cent more pre-orders on Amazon.co.uk that former record holder PS3 did prior to its launch in early 2007.

It's also trounced every incarnation of the DS, with 3DS pre-orders beating current portable daddy DSi by a whopping 407 per cent.
When it comes to the all time hardware pre-order rankings, 3DS is top followed by PS3, Wii, Kinect and PlayStation Move.
“It’s unusual for a handheld console to attract this amount of excitement in the run up to launch," Amazon.co.uk's director of video games Chris Poad stated. "Such high levels of interest are normally reserved for the play-at-home hardware like the ground-breaking Nintendo Wii and last year’s Microsoft Kinect.



“Nintendo 3DS is launching at a time when interest in all things 3D is incredibly high and with the promise of real 3D graphics without glasses, it’s a real breakthrough in handheld video game entertainment.”

Good times ahead when you can simply [COLOR=blue !important]cheat[/COLOR] your way through the tough ones — raing3′s freshly updated TempAR — for all your [offline] game cheating needs. It’s a plugin: you download it, activate it (in game.txt and/or pops.txt) and cheat using CWCHEAT and Action Replay codes.

[COLOR=blue !important]Install[/COLOR] notes for 6.31/6.35/6.36 PRO users: Rename the “seplugins” directory to “plugins” and [COLOR=blue !important]copy[/COLOR] that to your memory stick. You’ll also be activating “tempar_lite.prx” in game.txt.

In-Game Controls

• Show cheat menu: Press home twice followed by VOLUP+VOLDOWN
• Enable Cheat Engine: Press Note
• Screenshot: Press SELECT+VOLDOWN

TempAR v1.60 CHANGELOG

• [+] Added better support for homebrew, now uses unique Game IDs which are the same as those generated by CWCheat. Big thanks to HARO for the help.
• [+] Single select folders are now supported.
• [+] Rewrote search function, now it is much faster (average 100x faster) and has less wear on the memory stick.
• [+] Added option to change how many [COLOR=blue !important]search [/COLOR][COLOR=blue !important]results[/COLOR] can be found before the search is terminated. Using the defaultwill cause TempAR to find all results.
• [+] Can now save cheats. Cheats are saved to an individual file in ms0:/seplugins/TempAR/cheats/{game-id}.db. You can load these cheats by selecting the appropriate load cheat file options.
• [+] Added cheat delete function.
• [+] Pressing triangle on a cheat now shows a menu which allows the user to edit, rename, delete or copy the cheat.
• [+] All loaded search results can now be added with a single click.
• [+] Added support for custom 8×8 fonts. If you wish to use a custom font place it at ms0:/seplugins/TempAR/font.bin.
• [+] Added a text viewer. The text viewer can be triggered by going to the last tab. If a text file exists at ms0:/seplugins/TempAR/text/{game-id}.txt it will be loaded.
• [+] Added support for FreeCheat patch files. Only one patch file can be used per game and should be placed in ms0:/seplugins/TempAR/patch/{game-id}.pat. Then select “Load Memory Patch” from the PRX tab.
• [!] Menu display key no longer interferes with menu options.
• [!] Copy cheat now actually copies the code lines instead of just the code name.
• [?] Due to internal changes the config.bin files must be deleted if they exist. If they are not deleted there may be issues using the disassembler and browser functions.
• [?] Renamed POPS version to lite as it now works in game mode as well, not just POPS. The only difference the lite version has to the normal version is lack of USB support.
• [?] Optimized the source, reduced uncompressed PRX size by ~25KB
