We present Kinectrack, a new six degree-of-freedom (6-DoF) tracker which allows real-time and low-cost pose estimation using only commodity hardware. We decouple the dot pattern emitter and IR camera of the Kinect. Keeping the camera…
Project Type-Hover-Swipe incorporates motion sensing into a keyboard, which detects subtle hand gestures that allow you to manipulate content on the screen. Pinch your fingers together to zoom into a map, swipe your hand across…
