Kinetic space project uses almost any type of 3D spatial scanner – including Xbox Kinect – for registration and gestures. How does it work? Well, first register your body and then write a set of gestures. The system can read these gestures and trigger events based on speed and a repetition of gestures. The best part is the level of detail: you can even scan hand motions for an interesting form of man-machine language.
Project code is available here, and it supports "PrimeSense PS1080, Kinect or Xtion sensors", so it runs the gamut from high-end low.
The software monitors and comprehends the user interaction by handling user skeleton. Unique analysis procedures allow not only to detect simple gestures such as clicking, pressing, forming circles or waving, but also recognize more complex gestures, such as is used in dance performances or sign language.
What is good for? Well it can read the gesture from one person and register it on another, and you can train him register a tiny movement and, potentially, allow for management of the full motion of your PC. A dissenting opinion that it is not, however, that the future is getting closer and closer.
