The Kiwibank wall is a great example of Lumen’s ability to deliver a compelling user experience using OpenNI technology. The Kiwibank wall utilises hand and arm gestures and full body tracking, allowing multiple users to engage in a range of interactive activities – but this is only a taste of the technologies potential.

Asus trials Kinect enabled netbooks.

Computer company Asus has built a pair of prototype netbooks with built in Kinect sensors, which are running Windows 8. According to TheDaily, the devices have “an array of small sensors stretching over the top of the screen where the webcam would normally be. At the bottom of the display is a set of what appear to be LEDs.”

While Asus seems to be moving quickly with the technology, it’s not completely unexpected to see this being tested, with the Kinect for Windows device going on sale next week. Meanwhile Windows 8 is nearing completion, with the developer preview having just finished, and the Beta release (officially called the Windows Consumer Preview) likely to be released to the public in late February.

If you have a Kinect, MS is going to make sure you get a hell of a lot use from it. Going forward any new apps that make their way to the new app friendly dashboard will have Kinect support. Sure, they still haven’t added that support to say DVD viewing or even done something as simple as…

The future of interaction design

With an entire body at your command, do you seriously think the Future Of Interaction should be a single finger?

And if we put together social networks and new human interaction paradigms? A social network controlled by our human body, without mouse or keyboards…

A completely new way of interact with the tecnology. It’s how this video is about, an interactive prototype illustrated in this proof-of-concept video.

An interesting idea =)
