a> The Minority Report featured some incredible theoretical technologies, some of which have continued to interest geeks for years. One of these technologies was a system in which you are able to interact with the user-interface with a few hand gestures Now, imagine if you were able to control Windows 7 in much the same way?
LockerGnome community member Kevin Connolly has managed to recreate this using the Kinect SDK in a project he calls the KinectNUI (Natural User Interface). Currently, the project works with a single Kinect and any modern Windows PC.
You can find out more information and download a copy of the project's source code here:

You can see a whole series on the KinectNUI project on Kevin's YouTube channel:

Please feel free to leave a video comment demonstrating your use of the Kinect SDK or the KinectNUI project.

Dec 1, 2011 - That's kinda ignorant, he's really a genius who's showing off a tool from a gaming console that has the potential to allow awesome gestures to replace certain functions. Sure it's not super practical, but a lot of people could get a lot from it, not to mention his gestures are awesome. Dive in!(zoom) Force!(window grab)

Nov 26, 2011 - Lol. This was an independent project, A.K.A. Made by one person. If we can reach that level of precision with one person using tools that are readily available, we're very close to having an additional way of computer input, though we likely won't be replacing the mouse any time soon.

Nov 20, 2011 - I am looking for a Kinect wiz. I have a newly patented innovation for the kinect. The idea is relatively simple compared to what I've seen in this video. I just need someone with this kind of knowledge to help my invention come to life. I live in Acworth, Ga 30102 and can discuss business anytime. I'm not looking to get rich alone. If interested here's my email: bglassatl08@gmail.com.
Clarensee Says:
Nov 12, 2011 - Bullshit! This level of precision is not nearly enough even to move windows and find the process satisfactory, so what are you talking about!? We are many years away from this replacing a mouse (if you're sane).

Nov 10, 2011 - 1. You are reading this comment 2. you are realizing that this is a stupid fact 4. You didn't notice I skipped three. You're checking now 6. Your smiling 7. You are still reading my comment 9. You didn't realize I skipped 8 10. Your checking again and smiling about how you fell for it again 11. You are enjoying this. You didn't realize there are only supposed to be ten facts. Copy and paste this to ONE video and tomorrow will be the best day ever
