Direct 3D Interaction OR Augmented Reality

It is unbelievable how fast the technology is developed. Months ago I had thoughts about creating 3D interaction using Kinect and 3D vision. Today I have watched the video from Microsoft research team, where they show the way to interact with 3D objects. It is realy fantastic.

Here it is )))

First image drawn only with finger

I am back after a long  absence with a new program :)

I have worked on a program which will allow you to control the mouse with only one fingertip, even if your hand is not moving. I have yet some difficulties with the fingertips. The problem is that the fingertips are not stable. They are shaking, even if the hand and fingertips positions are stable in the real world. This problem is caused by the unstable depth image. Now I am trying to find some good algorithm for depth image smoothing.

Before I`ll finish it, I want to show you the first image, which was drawn only by finger.
I have opened MS Point, drew this picture and saved it. All this with one finger.

Hi :)

See you soon.

I have not tested Microsoft SDK yet, but have read a lot of blogs and watched many videos regarding to it.
The blog article which I liked much was from Brekel
Here is some things from his "pros and cons" list, which you must know, if you want to develop software for Kinect.
