I know Steven has been posting a lot of “Kinect hack” videos but I couldn’t resist posting this one which shows Kinect controlling a Nintendo emulator on the PC. Of course, being a Nintendo emulator it’s running Super Mario.
I programmed it to recognize my motions and passed the virtual button presses to the NES emulator. I could have placed a simulated keypad right in front of me that I can press with my hands, but I thought full body gestures were more in the spirit of Kinect. Of course, Mario isn’t designed to be played like this, so this is really really hard. – yankeyan
