Ideas

3D Drum Kit - Ben X Tan (http://benxtan.com)

• Using MIDI so you can alter the sound to what ever you want
• Placements of drums will be configurable too
• Use physical objects with AR markers on it(Mark Esters idea as discussed this morning with me :))
  • This way you can actually hit physical objects
  • You tell the software whether the marker is a Tom, snare, kick, hat, etc. and then you can move it around in 3d space.
  • For example you set up a room with card board boxes and trash cans with AR markers on top of each object and you tap on them (next to and not on top of the markers)
  • Or you might not even need markers! use object detection!!

Gesture Based Key Mapping - Brian Schiesl

• Using a full body skeleton to map a gesture and bind it to a single key press or a string of key presses.
• Along with a key press it would also need to have a programmable gesture (toggle on/off) that would have the mouse track a hand.
• Ability to "record" a gesture and then bind that gesture accordingly.
• With it being full body it would need some gesture to start/stop the "recording" of the gesture.
• This would allow gamers to feel more like the actual character in a game as well as allow non gamers the ability to control their computer with their own set of gestures.

Mouse Driver - Farid Wardan (http://far.id.au/)

• Recreation of the native Kinect menu interface on xbox
• Map hand movement to the mouse cursor
• Gestures for clicking and right-clicking
