Aj. Suthep 1. Cool Applications with Microsoft Kinect Kinect is a device intended for playing games. It has a set of built-in cameras and sensors, so it is able to provide the skeleton of a viewed person. It can also provide the 3-D depth of points in the image. This information can be used in a variety of applications; many applications can be seen on youtube such as youtube/watch?v=kn93BS44Das&feature=player_embedded#! and youtube/watch?v=s_mJSJetlH0&feature=related. You can use Kinect for: - Robot Navigation. Can have robot move around by mimicking (copying) your movement, so it can even play soccer. Or can use hand gesture to control the robot. Can also allow the robot to move around without hitting any obstacles. - Games. Think of a fun game to implement, once you know a person’s skeleton. Previous years have tried games where remote players can come together in a room and touch each other (shake had, hug, kiss, etc.). - Obtain accurate 3-D models of objects such as bottles, statues, human figures for 3-D printing. - Help Handicapped: Blind, Remote Control, etc. The possibilities are limitless. Think of some. - Create a new User Interface using the depth information. 2. Image Processing Topics - Augmented Reality (AR) Applications and Games. AR is the combination of the physical world and virtual (computer graphics) objects. See examples of augmented reality on YouTube to see some cool examples that may inspire you. - 3D Face Computation. Given 2 shots of face: side and front, compute a 3-D face. Other 3-D face methods such as based on video scan from left to right of a face can also be explored using smart phone’s camera. - Take video to obtain shape so as to measure volume (and therefore, weight) of pile of rocks / sand/ coal. Would be nice to run it via smart phone {New: Added 12 May 2013}. 3.
