FYP 2 - Critique 2 (Working Progress) CONT Some More

This is another way of using Kinect with WiiMote. This also another new way of playing with Kinect, but this guy also the same, only showing the playing method, not the hacking method. Coding and Hacking still looking for it. It is really hard to look for coding for Kinect.

This is a link to a website where it provides the open source driver and the demo video with it.

FYP 2 - Critique 2 (Working Progress) CONT

This is Media Zone Trigger where I will be used as the Drum Kit. BUT! There is always a BUT. It is only a Trial Version. So, when I was so excited to get into it, create the hot spot and try to program everything into place, IT IS NOT PROGRAMMABLE because it is not a FULL VERSION! Only full version gets the Full Function. Still looking for the solution for this. "ONLINE SOLUTION"

Another Instruments is going to be a Circuit Bending method where using Mixer to create sound. Since my project is more to Experimental Music, and Mr.Kok Yoong said change the way of playing instead of just stay with one. I don't have any photos yet because the thing is with Mr.Kok Yoong. Speakers and Mixer.

FYP 2 - Critique 2 (Working Progress)

Here it comes the Critique 2. So, for now I've been doing deeeeeeep research on Kinect with Open Kinect Driver. Everything is still in progress because the Kinect, is still new in the market for people to hack around. When I tried to search "Kinect Hack" or "Kinect Piano Coding", it will just appear the work has been done instead of showing the source to get to the coding part. So, still working on Kinect.

This is where I download the open source driver for Kinect, I'm not sure whether is the correct one or not.

This is something could do with Kinect if I'm able to hack into it. It is the hacking method I wanted to do, but it didn't shows how it has been hacked.

To Be Continued...
