Arduino and Kinect Projects – book collaboration

Przemek contributed a chapter to Arduino and Kinect Projects book, written originally by Enrique Melgar Ramos and Ciriaco Castro Diez. The chapter is a step-by-step tutorial of how to build a robotic drawing arm, driven by Kinect sensor and natural gestures. Book describes 10 do-it-yourself projects using Arduino and Kinect, original description from Amazon is as follows:

”

If you’ve done some Arduino tinkering and wondered how you could incorporate the Kinect?or the other way around?then this book is for you. The authors of Arduino and Kinect Projects will show you how to create 10 amazing, creative projects, from simple to complex. You’ll also find out how to incorporate Processing in your project design?a language very similar to the Arduino language.

The ten projects are carefully designed to build on your skills at every step. Starting with the Arduino and Kinect equivalent of “Hello, World,” the authors will take you through a diverse range of projects that showcase the huge range of possibilities that open up when Kinect and Arduino are combined.

  • Gesture-based Remote Control. Control devices and home appliances with hand gestures.
  • Kinect-networked Puppet. Play with a physical puppet remotely using your whole body.
  • Mood Lamps. Build your own set of responsive, gesture controllable LED lamps.
  • Drawing Robot. Control a drawing robot using a Kinect-based tangible table.
  • Remote-controlled Vehicle. Use your body gestures to control a smart vehicle.
  • Biometric Station. Use the Kinect for biometric recognition and checking Body Mass Indexes.
  • 3D Modeling Interface. Learn how to use the Arduino LilyPad to build a wearable 3D modelling interface.
  • 360? Scanner. Build a turntable scanner and scan any object 360? using only one Kinect.
  • Delta Robot. Build and control your own fast and accurate parallel robot.

Video demonstrating the robot described in mentioned chapter is on vimeo.

If you’re interested in tinkering with kinetic installations, this is definitely the position to get!

    If you are playing online slots using real allowance for sure, you should pay attention to
    some of this in the past you finally fail to bring home the victory.
    In this futuristic get older you can play in online slots in this
    area everywhere, even to make transactions you can with
    use online bank transfers or even upon some sites you can make deposits using credit.

    Some things that you have to pay attention to are actually
    quite common, but people often ignore them and underestimate them, correspondingly in the end what happens is that the
    person loses all of the initial capital to bet. hence you should begin reading over and listening to some of the
    in the manner of that will make you practiced to enjoy online slot games without distressing roughly losing.
