After eating my Kinect sensor, I wanted to try it on my PC. How can it be simpler: plug the USB into the computer port, install the driver and try to get started with this wonderful technology?
It’s not there. Never before had orange roses appeared, they could have climbed somewhere without a hammer, and the adapter with a USB adapter in the kit was not transferred (Danish copy of the sensor is in the bundle for the console).
By the way, the original adapter was not so easy: okremo vin is sold for $ 35 in the US, no delivery is needed, before the BP insurance only for 110V. An unsolicited adapter was bought from a new sensor set, so I didn’t know it myself: there were an order of magnitude more who wanted to buy it.
There is only one way out: the transition is independent.

which is required

Persh for everything I know the thermostats of the rose:

Chi is not foldable, but + 5V, D-, D +, Gnd - go to USB, and іnshі chotiri, + 12V і Gnd - to harchuvannya. Yak dzherelo zhivennya virіsheno bulo vikoristovuvati computer power supply unit, which behind the wondrous zbіg of furnishings is + 12V and a supply of 1A, so a necessary connection.

Zalishivya stay of food: how did it go all the way to the nest of the connection, why didn’t it come from?
Perche, cho fell on a dummy - vikoristovuvati polymeric clay for the root of the vidpovid part of the rose needed form. Surprised with respect, I remembering the similarity of some contacts in the skin side with USB contacts, and then it was violated in the base.

List of required items:
USB-A plug x 2
be-like resistor 0.5-1 Watt
USB rose, be it a type, for connecting to a pc
rose'єm MOLEX (abo FDD, PW11-4M)
darts (loop for 6-8 conductors)
file
soldering iron and attachment
Super glue

zbiramo

I ask for the low quality of the photo, on mobile phone more beautifully znytyt duzhe neatly.

Roskrivaєmo two rosesєmi:

With a drink, change the plasticity, leave the offending part with your back to the back, do not fit into the rose connection:

Pidpilyuєmo one edge of the rose, schob contact pads 6-9 were marked:

Glue two halves, one by one along the edge:

When the contact for pin 5 is closed, we take the bottom of the resistor and fuse on the bottom of the resistor:

Rose is ready. As soon as it happened, it’s worthwhile to bother with no hopeful contact - it is possible to solder tin on the contact pads until required.

Connected by wires from the contacts of the newly created rose, rose living and USB:

Overwhelmed again, but everything is okay. Additional three-dimensional insulation lines and heat shrinkage:

The plug-in rose is alive to replace the long-uncured floppy, plug-in adapter to plug, plug-in USB into the PC ...

Pratsyuє!

The system will be radioed for the connection of new annexes. You can pratsyuvati!
For the test, after downloading the set for Windows, the drivers were installed, the demo was launched. The picture is transferred, the data is processed.

How can you dodati?
The Danish adapter can be used for connecting the sensor to older versions of the Xbox 360.

View of Microsoft. Ale, fortunately, no, no news about the miracle-sensor didn’t "put on" me. Having guessed, or rather guessed me, about a new one through the rik, if the idea of ​​a joke, like a stylish saw of a zbirnik appeared, was the Xbox 360 Slim. I want to turn on the console just before the hour of the evening, there are a lot of positive emotions and funny videos. Ale, having gotten into the standard Adventures and Joy Ride, the idea about the opening of the power gris for the Kinect fell into my head, as it turned out, everything is easy to finish ...

idea

They do not pretend to laurels Rovio, Halfbrick and others, but it is simple (as they thought, for a high-school stake they know). The idea of ​​gris was born by itself, for that, as the word “simple” was sounded, a portable electronic game - “Elektronika” - was immediately conceived. So-so…. ti sami PSP - 80s.

Yak cannot be more beautiful, given our ideas, went by itself popular gra from serii - "Well, cut your hair!". Visited with a grocery store and having filled up with beer, the robot rested.

Realization

From the soft vicorists they fled:

• Visual Studio C # 2010
• Microsoft XNA 4.0
• Kinect SDK (on the cob for a beta, recently upgraded to version 1.5)
• CorelDRAW

Hard and hard:

• Kinect
• Beer, croutons

In the first version of the gris, the bullet is based on the original graphic of the classic "Well, cut it!" A lot of bulo is enough for doughing and adjusting all components. Having crossed over, everything is great, the robot rested over the interaction of the grid with Kinect.

So, so vovk can have all the chotiri positions, from the grave, the same chotiri. The management is made of the most natural and intelligent, so that for catching eggs, the grave is guilty of repeating the eggs in the country.

To mark the position of the graver, we need a total of 6 points to be displayed by the point sensor:

Rh = skeleton.Joints; lh = skeleton.Joints; rs = skeleton.Joints; ls = skeleton.Joints; rk = skeleton.Joints; lk = skeleton.Joints;

• rh - right hand / hand
• lh - liva hand / hand
• rs - right shoulder
• ls - left shoulder
• rk - right number
• lk - liva kolino

Vlasne implementation:

If (rh.Position.Y> rs.Position.Y && (rh.Position.Y - lh.Position.Y)<= 0.1 && (rh.Position.X - lh.Position.X) <= 0.1 && (rh.Position.X - rs.Position.X) >= 0.3) (state = 1;) else if (lh.Position.Y> ls.Position.Y && (rh.Position.Y - lh.Position.Y)<= 0.1 && (rh.Position.X - lh.Position.X) <= 0.1 && (lh.Position.X - ls.Position.X) <= -0.3) { state = 0; } else if (lh.Position.Y < lk.Position.Y && (rh.Position.Y - lh.Position.Y) <= 0.1 && (rh.Position.X - lh.Position.X) <= 0.1 && (lh.Position.X - lk.Position.X) <= 0) { state = 2; } else if (rh.Position.Y < rk.Position.Y && (rh.Position.Y - lh.Position.Y) <= 0.1 && (rh.Position.X - lh.Position.X) <= 0.1 && (rh.Position.X - rk.Position.X) >= 0) (state = 3;

The code for inverting the position of the slopes, setting them one by one, and taking the decision about the position of the slopes, if the grave correctly appears in the ruch. And for the sake of the evil of the eggs from the upper tiers, you will have to lift your hands from your shoulders. And for the yєts from the lower tiers, the hands are guilty of perebuvati lower, most of the gravel.

redecorating gris

Hurray, everything is blooming! Take a couple of days, as you often come across if you want to see more of the game. Not styles in the functional plan, but also in the interface, and even more so, without rotsi 30 rocks and gras, looking at the great screen.

Virisheno bulo її perefarbuvati, and not just perefarbuvati, but all over again. Ale so, in the middle of us, there were no artists, they didn’t know any “olivtsi”, brought in to help freelancers.

olivtsi * - so affectionately called graphic designers

Here you have a chance to find something, and talk to the designer yourself. The freelancer has polished everything in his own style, radically coming from my ideas, but as a result of me looking forward to all the results.

So viyshov is the main hero:

Ale yak on the right went to yaєts, they gave food, yak tsіkavilo being less young. And finally the egg ...!? Nachebto hizhak, then why is it not easier for you, to replace the catch, to see it on the slob, that you can't bring a couple of chickens with you?
If I didn’t want to rewrite the load so drastically, it was necessary to come up with something like that, too, I’ve got lost (like an egg) into the beast, but at the same time I looked more logical, from looking at the food / drink in the meat.

I will replace the eggs, come ...
So! Yak vi already guessed - pigs!


do not joke about the analogy with the guessing game by the game, the piglets were invented by themselves

The view of the bonus in roughness also has three levels of folding (that is, it is seen between the cob piglets) and the table of records. So, the gra appeared, with a completely logical name, Hungry Wolf.

A couple of screenshots:

Well, the axis is no longer viable and everything. Dyakumo team, who had read it or scrolled to the end, like є nutrition about the technical implementation of what is wrong - ask, please.

Installing Kinect on Windows 7

• comoru *

Entry

This article was born in the process of launching simple programs in C #, I will transfer the image from a USB camera and capture a picture every 5 seconds to a hard disk. So it turned out that I only had a camera on my laptop, and for the release of the installed factory the camera was guilty of being astonished through a window on the street, I didn’t want to get a new call, for my glance it turned out to be on TV. Apparently, you need to connect the attachment to the computer, and then we will be able to sort it out at once.

Forgetting ahead I will say that I have not tried to replace the camera with Kinect yet, I knew the usb webcam, but I won’t let it go, I don’t want to use kinect for c # already є.

Necessary wit

Immediately I want to get around, all the operations were carried out in Windows 7 Ultimate, installed on the MacBook via BootCamp, which is 99.9% meaningful, otherwise we won't.

Well, well, we need to know:

• Kinect
• computer
• Windows 7
• Visual Studio 2010 rooku (since installed c ++)
• Internet (for securing the necessary libraries)

Preparatory stage

You can readily, ready-made drivers for the Kinect robot can be found here on the Internet, wait a minute, you can’t take it with your own hands, be smart and bark at yourself for the grace. That is why we have secured all the necessary programs and libraries.

For convenience, I open the C: \ OpenKinect folder, in which all robots will be viewed.

libusb-win32
The central port of the libusb library, as it allows you to remove access to USB attachments from the client's add-ons.
Wikachuєmo file in the form of libusb-win32-bin-xxxxzip from the last build, in my view the buv build with the number 1.2.2.0 and unpacked it in C: \ OpenKinect \ Libusb-win32 for convenience, especially for all folders, as we will be opening).

pthreads-win32
Pthreads is a set of libraries to implement a simple robot with POSIX threads. The project is still ancient, it has not been updated since 2006, so I give it a direct link to the required file, which will need to be downloaded to the C: \ OpenKinect \ Pthreads-win32 folder.

You will also need to copy the file C: \ OpenKinect \ Pthreads-win32 \ Pre-built.2 \ lib \ phtreadVC2.dll to the \ Windows \ System32 \

Glut
A library for robots with OpenGL. Another old project, and another just a file, which needs to be downloaded to the C: \ OpenKinect \ Glut folder
glut-3.7.6-bin.zip

Copy the file C: \ OpenKinect \ Glut \ glut32.dll in \ Windows \ System or in the folder, as it is in our PATH
Also, you need to copy the file C: \ OpenKinect \ Glut \ glut.h to the VC \ include \ GL folder of your VS2010, since the GL folder is not there, you need to open it. File C: \ OpenKinect \ Glut \ glut32.lib to VC \ lib folder. At my vipadku way to see the offensive rank:

• C: \ Program Files \ Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0 \ VC \ include \ GL
• C: \ Program Files \ Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0 \ VC \ lib

zbirka project

Git
Naturally, we cannot do without the output files in the libfreenect project, which is Git that will be installed yo, after the hour of installing the vibramo options "Run Git from the Windows Command Promt"і "Check-out Windows-style, commit Unix-style line endings".
Git-1.7.4-preview20110204.exe

With the next step, the command line is displayed and lastly entered as well (the parser will convert the address to the sent one, so I will add it to the link https: // and github.com, you need to do it):
cd c: \ OpenKinect
git clone https: // github.com/OpenKinect/libfreenect.git
cd libfreenect
git branch --track unstable origin / unstable
git checkout master
git pull
As a result, the folder with the output codes C: \ OpenKinect \ libfreenect

CMake
Utilita, as you can help us convert all our libraries into one project. The program will be installed on the site, at the moment the last version is 2.8.4, it will be installed, after the hour of installation, the option is selected "Add CMake to the system PATH for all users"

To install the launcher, the cmake-gui.exe file. At the first row, select a folder with the output codes, we have C: / OpenKinect / libfreenect, the other row is a folder, if the project C: / OpenKinect / Drivers is selected. Check the boxes for Grouped and Advanced, push the Configure button, and push the button Finish at the push of the button. The program is presented with a pardon, to that there is no way to our libraries, as it is shown on the screen shot and the two buttons on the Configure button.

Now we are innocent of pardons, and you can boldly press the Generate button, as a result, in the folder C: \ OpenKinect \ Drivers, we have a project that we need to stay in VS2010.

Visual Studio 2010
In VS2010, our new project will be opened in the C: \ OpenKinect \ Drivers folder (libfreenect.sln file) and I will be happy (I will have a project only the other time). If everything went without pardon, then we should correct the folders C: \ OpenKinect \ Drivers \ lib \ Debug and C: \ OpenKinect \ Drivers \ bin \ Debug, I will add them to PATH.

At the end of the stage, the collection of completions is passed without prior to the connection of Kinect.

Connect Kinect

It's easy to finish here. Pidklyuchamo Kinect, yogo system Xbox NUI Motor and you cannot know the driver, which can be used by others. Through the attachment manager, we know our sufferer, select the option "Update driver" and the folder C: \ OpenKinect \ libfreenect \ platform \ windows \ inf, the system will ask for confirmation to install an unwritten driver, yes, your year, you can send a green message diod and two unrecognized annexes appear in the list of guilty annexes Xbox NUI Cameraі "Xbox NUI Audio", I will install the drivers for them from the C: \ OpenKinect \ libfreenect \ platform \ windows \ inf folder.

On the whole, all our robots are finished, having lost only to reconsider how everything is working.

dough

For converting the publishing of Kinect with the speed of three utilities from the folder

• C: \ OpenKinect \ Drivers \ bin \ Debug:
• glpclview.exe - Shows the functionality of the Kinect 3D camera
• glview.exe - Show the camera to the robot
• tiltdemo.exe - Kinect Motor Assistant

Axis i result:

P.S. If you want to write your own program for robots with Kinect, then in the folder C: \ OpenKinect \ libfreenect \ wrappers є obgortki pіd bezlіch mov.

When writing the statty, the Vikoristov was given information from the site

The Microsoft company is not so quick to go to the fact that it’s unhappy to react to the emergence and the forthcoming strong zeal of popularity of the newest technological trends. So it was with the Internet services, de Redmond, for the fact, got rid of the Google fight, so at once he was seen with smartphones, tablets and phablets.

Є Seriously bewildered, but in a whole corporation it is also quiet in the category, so you can wear devices like Google Glass, Oculus Rift, Android Wear and Apple iWatch.

Still, Microsoft still has no idea what it is like to be a gossip, which cannot compete with Apple or Google. One of these is the Kinect sensor, another generation of 15 lines has become officially available for Windows.

The history of Kinect, which I will call Project Natal after the hour of development, has started in the fall of 2010, since the first generation of this non-private device became available as an accessory to the Xbox 360 game console, which I will switch on before the next, I will get up on top.

The first generation of Kinect for Xbox 360 was successful in sales in the fall of 2010

Kinect instantly replaces the standard controller of the central set-top box, allowing you to control specially adapted games for an additional player and voice, moreover, on the view from the Wii Remote or PlayStation Move, you do not need bulky trimmatics in your hands.

The Kinect lineup has turned out to be even more successful, having thought of the number of sales in the first generation of iPad tablets from Apple, as it happened in the same time. So, tearing the sensor with the tablet is even marvelous, but the very fact that Microsoft's new product has zoomed at once "vistrility" can be better than a product of an eminent competitor with a large army of fans, which deserves credit. Kinect sales were numbered in millions of accessories for the console.

Through the author of the rock Microsoft has secured success, officially releasing the first version of Kinect for Windows on the cob in 2012.

Kinect for Windows launched in December 2012

Zavalosya b: to the right in the chapel, to get rid of only the development and development of the idea in the distance, the ale axis just once from the tsim, judging by us, there were problems.

Kinect for Xbox 360 has been surrounded by wild casual games, fitness simulators and a long milestone, unfortunately, not a pity. Only the developers of the AAA-class of serious igor vikorists learned the power of voice control for the additional Kinect, the main feature of the sensor is the control of the rudder in large-scale projects, so it is not all serious and without hitting.

Kinect handles one of the last Xbox 360 revisions

To what? Foldly say, є kіlka versions. For example, a part of the developers talked about the problems of the sensor itself, and they put on the edge of the weak characteristics of the Xbox 360.

The Windows version ran into more important problems. On the right, Microsoft, like Sony and Nintendo, is not to love the Xbox exclusives on the PC. As a result, Kinect for Windows has gone without igor. The auditorium of the Windows-version of the device was found to be surrounded by entourage, such as Kinect in their own projects.

Software that interacts with Kinect

Kinect as a basis for controlling a flying robot

Microsoft clearly said that Kinect for Windows will soon be delivered soon, but it won't be just for entusers, but it will appear just the same: virobniks will not forget to include it in the package with TV sets, monoblocs, basic Kinect elements, appear in laptops and so far.

It’s a pity that it didn’t become "soon" і to this day. Microsoft could not popularize the device. On consoles, vіn has lost its share of unmoved casual gravitas, on Windows - computer geeks and entusies.

In 2013, Microsoft, a non-abiotic competitor in the form of Sony and Nintendo, announced its new Xbox - along with the first introduction of Kinect 2.

Kinect 2.0

Another generation of the sensor for the first time was not a necessary accessory for the new Xbox, but was included in the kit. Tse is even more important. By the way, Microsoft has gambled on Kinect 2, yak on the birthmark of the new console.

Kinect 2 and Xbox One

On the cob, everything looked to finish off the tsikavo: the console with a new straining grip, right in the pair with the new generations of the sensor, de-bully and correcting the rich weak sides of the Kinect of the first generation ...

Well, b, the axis is now the same as Microsoft will show everything, it’s good, presenting to the people of the nonchalant level of interactivity of the new development system.

Small demonstration of Kinect 2.0

Ale viyshlo knew everything as a whole. In practice, unaffected by those that are more expensive than Xbox One consoles, they are not hostile.

Weak graphics on the low-middle-class gaming PC and the availability of the GDDR5 video memory, as Microsoft has not seen it replaced the DDR3 + ESRAM with the DDR3 + ESRAM link before the Xbox One has been introduced to the multiplatform less permissiveness, lower on the same PlayStation 4.

The bottom line is that, even before the hour of Kinect 2 development, the birthmarks have become the central problem of the Xbox One, through the yak Microsoft brought the hardware to the console, and the price list should be placed on $ 100, not the head of the competitor.

8th generation wall-mounted and portable consoles

In addition, the Kinect 2 has already taken up 10% of the resources and the already not needed Xbox One GPU.

Not surprisingly, according to Microsoft, even for Xbox One and other Kinect it was practically impossible to find Igor. Crytek, in its Ryse: Son of Rome project, as a result, looked to Kinect, and Fighter Within was smashed in such a way that the bar below 23/100 of the game for Xbox One cannot be broken:

Maybe the bootie in Redmond wanted to lure all the voice controllers with a Kinect add-on? Ale і tsei option is not even more plausible. It’s possible to power it up in three different ways, and it’s not broken to give a message.

Kinect 2 can’t do this: it’s an operatic set of phrases, like koristuvach is guilty of simply memorizing, wait, wait, not even tsykavo. Є, slyly, hoping for, ala, in 2013, it was dull on the whole front, that at the same time talk about the appearance of Cortana on the Xbox consoles is not going anywhere.

Microsoft, obviously, wanted for the Xbox One development for Kinect 2 a proper base for the Koristuvach, and even then think that the sensor could be in good time. Koristuvachіv such distribution is not vashtuvav, as a result of Kinect 2 pulling down the very Xbox One itself.

People respected for more beautifully more cheaply and more will push the PlayStation 4:

Sales of consoles of the 8th generation behind the mill on the first half of the linen

At that hour, when the Xbox is new, I still can't go over the bar of 5 million units sold, Sony has already flown for 8. Yak pidsumok, Microsoft has taken a strategic decision to distribute Xbox One sales without Kinect. the stench is literally unsettled one by one. The console, having lost the Kinect, went down in price by $ 100, having paid the price for the PS4 itself. It’s a pity, but the price for sale didn’t come in.

We have plans to play Xbox One and earlier in the day. Vidmova from Kinect to reduce the cost slightly to increase the productivity of the console, however, even if it is not a great addition of 10%, it will not be great.

So, from Xbox One: before going to autumn, the Sunset Overdrive game is exclusively designed to navigate with its cartoon graphics and to navigate, while the entire resource of the console, including the previously reserved for Kinect effort, is all one "after" 30 FPS in 900PS ...

In the middle of Microsoft, I know the beast of my own glance at Windows and personal computers in general, in the hope, well there, I would like to use the entourage, the development of additional software, Kinect 2 to "run" more quickly. On the 15th, the sale of the Windows version of the device was overhauled.

Kinect 2 for Windows

How can Kinect 2 be seen from its successor? Estimated technical characteristics in general:

Technical characteristics of the first generation Kinect in terms of Kinect 2

I okremі tsіkavі moments:

• Klyuchova zmіna is a camera. For VGA (640 * 480 dots) in the previous version, the capacity has been increased to 1080p (1920 * 1080 pixels);

• Zbіlshenі kuti look around to allow to enter more space;
• Quite a few improvements to the flow of data about glybin called for the Kinect 2 to be able to develop more information. In the morning, as the first generation of the sensor could be made about 7.5 cm, then now the bar has been changed to 2.5;
• The first generation of Kinect could potentially develop one hour less than two people. Kinect can record more than six figures at once, reading at up to 2 GB of data per second;

• Performances Single mode for seated and standing koristuvachiv / gravitov;
• The new Kinect allows you to discover not just more people, but more people. For example, the system is now without the possibility of being able to develop, if the hand is clenched into a fist or navpaki;
• The power of the new Kinect robots in a practical way is presented. Nagadaєmo, in front of the sensor generation, comfortably felt only in the surroundings with ample illumination. At your own Kinect 2 you can "bachiti" roll your lips into a dark room;

• The new sensor can recognize the rhythm of the heartbeat by face;
• Kinect 2 with the ability to scan and scan QR codes;
• The new audio system can now provide two one-hour conversations between people and two different streams of motion;
• The SDK functionality has been extended by bagatoraz (version 2.0 is available) right away from Kinect.

List of innovations of another Kinect in a good way. The robot of the Viconan is significant, the pristіy itself has become even more tsіkavim hocha b for quiet computer entusies.

In addition, there are at least two tablespoons of honey in this jar of honey. They called Persha a vishka: Microsoft just can't popularize Kinect. The fact is that the sensor will literally wink out from the Xbox One kit in all 6-7 months after the cob of sales in the console, it’s worthwhile to bring it up.

Є Microsoft has a reason to get nervous. On the right, in that, if not everything, then it is even more abundant, and in the middle of the hour the commanders went over the Kinect. Moreover, they did not go anywhere, but to direct competitors.

So, zokrema:

• Johnny Chang Lee, one of the leading developers of the original Kinect, since 2011 with Google, went there to the warehouse of the ATAP (Advanced Technology and Projects) group, clearing the team to start developing. Project Tango itself, which allows mobile devices to open up and expand the picture in the open space, having presented for the first time on the cob of streaming rock;
• George Andreas, another vidomy engineer of the Kinect team, on the cob in 2013 switched to a robot at Sony, demoted to the team of Anton Mikhailov. For no less than a trivial term, George, mabut, stood up to take a part in the PS Camera and DualShock 4, until the last rock came to the market one hour from the new generations of PlayStation. Infecting the team of working over the virtual reality and leaving behind an unchangeable gadget, which, in tandem with Morpheus, is able to remove the hands of the eyes;

The PS Move controller from Sony is overhauling sales two months earlier than the first version of Kinect. Judging by us, Project Morpheus will have a better handicap in an hour

• The team of industrial designers Carbon Design Group, who opened the first view of the first Kinect, as well as the controller for the Xbox 360 and Microsoft's baby bears, was bought by Oculus VR, which, in its turn, has recently been running Facebook. Yak, the Carbon Design Group will be happy to help over the design of the final version of the virtual reality. With the help of the first generation of Kinect, Carbon was applied over the yak, visually being newer than the other, the "design" of which was already the robot of Microsoft itself, the Oculus VR was shot in the distance.
• The Izrailskaya Company PrimeSense, the distribution of the lungs in the basis of Kinect, in the fall of 2013 was bought by Apple. For what Cupertino is required, the developers of the 3D sensor are still unavailable. Є Dumka, the most important new product of Apple in 2014 will be the smart year iWatch, and the axis for the coming year of the Apple company will focus on the brand new product, and the PrimeSense solution will be stagnant. On the other hand, Apple can go on a big path, having installed the doors on the basis of the extra mini-Kinect technologies in the iMac, or MacBooks, even the HD-camera FaceTime, which could be used in conjunction with the Glybin sensor.

Another ts_kaviy moment, on which bi we wanted to be brutalized respect, polyagaє in the competitors of Kinect. As it is already said, the great companies on the Apple and Google standalone have not yet presented a direct competitor to the Microsoft sensor, they want to lead active development in the summit areas. If you have to compete with a smaller company, then it stinks, crazy, є.

Mabut, the best of them, is the contactless Leap Motion controller from the same company. The principles of this robot are similarly evolved from the Kinect, but only two cichs are attached to the Christmas most strongly against one to one.

Leap Motion is the biggest competitive threat to Kinect on PC

At the view of the Kinect, the sensor operates on a personal computer and looks at the consoles in a viewable way to navigate. Who has Leap Motion's success? On the right, the small Leap Motion team didn’t just think of their solution, but they didn’t just go home with HP and Asus about the Leap Motion sensor technology. Already we will introduce into life with the butt of such spіvpratsi є the HP Envy 17-j110 Leap Motion SE laptop.

Most importantly, both HP and Asus were engaged in development in the field of contactless control, and then we got together around Leap Motion. You can buy a seasonal device as well as in the warehouses of specific annexes from the named companies.

Leap Motion, connecting to a laptop, expanding the order with it

The success of the Leap Motion has been achieved with a price (2-3 times that of Kinect) and a super-compact size of the sensor itself.

The seasonal LM team is working on another version of the attachment, as if to break a straining stribok at the bottom of the rods:

Another generation of Leap Motion technologies

On the whole, the Kinect's maybutt'a to be built is far from bezhmarny. Microsoft has carried out a great robot, starting a version 2.0 of the head and a big technological successor. Ale, unfortunately, it is not enough to show up. The lack of a company to build the ecosystem around the gadget, to complete a sufficient number of exclusive projects and to show the sphere of storage, to lead to the stagnation of all ideas of a contactless controller.

In addition, virobniks, who could have integrated Kinect in their attachment, due to the price and the relatively large dimensions of the sensor, would not allow easily equipping it with a monoblock or a laptop.

As a result, the visas are even more verbose. Before us is a unique idea, de Microsoft has come out a little not persistent, and the evolution of the idea of ​​the Kinect 2.0 is tense. However, a number of problems і, first for everything, the presence of specific, what kind of people are trying to prevent this year's Kinect with a semi-useless game in the eyes of a lot of people who want to know more

Not long ago, I bought an xbox 360 kinect, so I can get away from the robot's motivation cards. Buy, then buy, only the axis of roses''m less rozcharuvav, appear for the PC є a special version with an adapter, and there’s a road, ale the engineering didn’t spend, if you won’t be able to work in the x-box, with the usb interface, then on maє all pratsyuvati. After reading the forums, everything became ominous after a couple of gilts - to finish the cable and to the required 12V wires, throw it on the USB. Rizati bulo skoda, ale chekati crossroads from ALI Dovgo, kupuvati in Rostov is not enough, and the prefix at me is not playable, and the switch is all one nikudi.
