The game makes use of two huge screens. if you happen to be at the S.A.C. Premium Shop, […]
Kinect-Controlled Evil Genius Similator
Brightarcs is a UK based company that builds Tesla coils – no ordinary Telsa coils but musical ones. If you fancy you can hire them to create products that use high voltages and plasma. Sounds like good old fashioned dangerous fun. Geek comedian Tom Scott (who Geek Native has interviewed) took his camera crew to […]
Sesame Street: Once Upon A Monster
Gosh! After getting all creepy with a visit Dead Island and grabbing the haunting soundtrack it became necessary to find something much lighter to blog out. Something lighter – like MONSTERS! Fortunately, Double Fine and Warner were at hand to roll out some Sesame Street monsters and amuse us all. Without further ado; Once Upon […]
Catalina from Moullinex is a music video via a hacked Kinect
The Portguese group Moullinex have helped the geek community push Kinect hacking one step further. Also; they’ve made a stunning music video for a wicked tune. The pair briefed Kotaku and explained how they were able do the vid in their own living room. Luis Clara Gomes told the Gawker powerhouse gamer blog of power; […]
Kinect controlled robot – the first Kinect controlled model?
This video is frightfully impressive. This is all the work of a hobbyist and V-Sido software, which, if you want, you can get here. As you watch this video think about the robot’s balance. It simply isn’t falling over despite leaning quite some distances in some of the Kinect-powered poses. It’s impressive stuff. This particular […]

Interactive Puppet Kinect Act
The Kinect may not appeal to everyone but a sign that it’s here to stay is how quickly so many people are doing cool things with it. These cool things are often a result of hacking. To begin with Microsoft wasn’t that happy about the hacking. The good news is that they now say they’re […]
Use your Kinect for 3D films
I’ve seen some Microsoft provided demos of the Kinect’s quasi-3D abilities and they’re all pretty cool. I think video might be just as cool. It’s simple but it’s also very effective. It also runs off hacked Kinect drivers and so the h4xx0r5 will be happy. What do you think? Pretty cool? The Kinect could also […]
Kinect through night vision – the video
You might well have heard the Kinect looks kinda cool through night vision. I’ve stumbled across this HD video showing just what happens. I’m not an expert but it does seem to me as if the Kinect bathes the room with dots and then detects the motion through them. I’ve seen some demos from Rare […]
New Xbox 360 Dashboard for Kinect leaked
Wasn’t this bound to happen? We’ve a YouTube video claiming to be a leaked previewof the Kinect enabled dashboard (dasboard 2.0) for the Xbox. There’s always a risk with such “leaks” that its a fake but this one looks believable. My first impression is that this doesn’t look amazingly impressive. It’s just very familiar – […]
