Wow. This Kinect hack is awesome. Really solid tracking of the marker too.

See this and other cool links over on our blog today.

The musician in me is loving this. Using a Kinect Hack to allow kids to control an orchestra!

The BBC has collaborated with magneticNorth to create Maestro, an interactive installation that lets children conduct the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra at the Manchester International Festival.

Maestro was developed using Microsoft Kinetic technology and lets the audience control the tempo and dynamic of the orchestra using nothing but their hands.

This will be seriously cool when it becomes real-time.

Laan Labs has created a demo that displays 3D imaging recorded using a Kinect in augmented reality on an iPad. And of course they go right to the “you’re my only hope” Star Wars reference. Just imagine the live video chat functionality once it can process and display live data, not recorded data. 

Pretty sweet: this guy developed a Kinect hack that lets you create and control music with your body.
