  1. Project By: Brent Elder, Mike Holovka, HishamAlgadaibi Kinect Interface

  2. What is our project about? • Design an interface for Window 7 • Controlled by the Microsoft Kinect Device

  3. Why? • Gesture based interaction between humans and computers have seen a large growth in popularity • To start developing towards interfaces that adapt more to humans • Get beyond the traditional input devices • Break into the field of gesture recognition

  4. Goals • Gesture Recognition • Software that will translate our gestures and movements recorded by the Kinect into commands that will control our interface • Voice Recognition • Applications • An array of different interface components and applications that will respond our gestures

  5. Who is it for? • We are the clients • Research into the field of Human – Computer interaction • Benefit our future careers • Help to inspire future students

  6. How? • Kinect SDK • Rainmeter: Desktop Customization Tool

  7. Hardware RGB Camera 3D depth sensors Multi-array microphones Motorized tilt

  8. What is Kinect SDK? • Programming toolkit • Drivers • Rich APIs for raw sensor streams • Languages

  9. Concept Video

  10. Features • Raw sensor streams • Skeletal tracking • Depth Data • Advanced audio capabilities

  11. Rainmeter • Desktop Customization Tool • Allows you to place fully customizable widgets on desktop • Range from monitoring system resources to controlling media player • Run shell commands • Free and open source • Source Code available at Google Project site • Vocab

  12. Rainmeter Plugins • Plugins: • .dll file which provides additional functionality not included in installation • Plugins are developed using C# or C++ • Same as Kinect SDK • Development team includes plugin template file • On Google Project Site

  13. Rainmeter Plugins Continued • Also include toolkit (Rainmeter.cs) which provides the necessary development tools • Soon to be Wiki page up for plugin development as well

  14. Success Criteria • Creation of software that will translate predefined gestures into commands • Interface that will respond accordingly to those commands • Learning experience

  15. Risks • Programming difficulties • Not enough time to finish all features • Kinect SDK in Beta 2 • Inaccuracy of the Kinect Device • Incapability of Kinect SDK with Rainmeter

  16. Design

  17. Planned Gestures • Hand moving (Mouse movement) • One Finger Click (Left mouse click) • Two Finger Click (Left mouse double click) • Horizontal and Vertical Swipe motion • Grab and hold (ex. Dragging files) • Keyboard command short-cuts

  18. Planned Voice Commands • Kinect Activate • Kinect Deactivate • Kinect Shutdown • Kinect Restart • Kinect Sleep

  19. Data Modeling • Not a database driven system • Gestures will be identified within the code • Voice commands may be able to be store in a database

  20. Functional Requirements • Accept input from the Kinect sensor • Ability to interpret different hand gestures • Ability to interpret different voice commands • Simple mouse control • A variety of different applications that are part of the interface. • The interface will recognize at most two hands and one person

  21. Gantt Chart - Research

  22. Gantt Chart – Development Phase 1

  23. Gantt Chart –Development Phase 2

  24. Gantt Chart – System Testing/Refactoring

  25. Division of Labor • We are all knowledgeable with code development • We will each be working on every level of the project • Work will be divided evenly among us
