Interfaces with the Kinect
Walking in 3D
Here, the Kinect is used to navigate through Google Street View:
- body orientation => rotate sideways
- body tilt => rotate up/down
- walking (on the spot) => move forward
- jump => move forward by some distance

In-Air Interaction with ARCADE
A combination of interaction techniques to create and control virtual 3D objects that are placed into the live video of the presenter.
- selection/picking: hold hand over object
- menu: browse with finger position, select with swipe gesture
- drawing: two finger touching switches to draw mode, go to 3D rotate mode with a key press
- rotate/scale: rotate with finger up/down/left/right, scale with two fingers
- delete: wave gesture over object

Finger Tracking with DUO: Competition for the Leap Motion
Today I saw a video on the channel of the NUI Group which featured a DIY device for close range finger tracking, not unlike the Leap Motion device. It is called DUO and here’s what it can do:
The leap motion device should ship soon (April 2013) whereas the DUO is just about to start a Kickstarter project to collect funding. The difference between the two projects is foremost the open source and DIY philosophy of the DUO against a strictly commercial license philosophy of the Leap Motion. Technically, the two technologies seems to differ (see a forum thread of the DUO makers).
