For Second Life and archaeological digs, the Kinect can create 3d representations of scanned items and folks! TheKinect 3d Object and People Scan gives users the technology to scan their objects and people and create a virtual 3d representation of them. This video by Chris Palmer showcases this Kinect setup and how the future of gaming and inventory can radically be changed by the Kinect. In the video people and objects, through a guided Kinect is able to capture a robust 3d image. Not only that, but also the depth and texture of the object is captured, giving a more detailed scan.

This tutorial works with both official Nintendo or 3rd party nunchucks. The nunchuck is a good multi-use input for a Raspberry Pi as they can be picked up cheaply and contain a joystick, a three-axis accelerometer and two buttons in a nice ergonomically friendly controller.

A Lego-based wireframe builder with physically moveable blocks representing the different blocks on a page according to their colour e.g. navigation = blue Lego block, hero = red Lego block etc… As a block is moved on the Lego baseboard, the corresponding block moves on the wireframe.

Using the Kinect for Windows Beta from Nov 2011 and a Kinect sensor, you register this guy's driver with Windows and then Skype can see the Kinect as a webcam!

Forbes had 160 circuit boards and enough electronics to start a data center strapped to his body. What the authorities didn’t realize, though, was that all the equipment wasn’t dangerous—it was actually a wearable TV set.

Forbes, an electrical engineer, built his first video coat in 2009 after getting his hands on a collection of surplus LED displays
