MIT MediaLab's DepthJS: Now your web page can interact with the Microsoft Kinect using Javascript (Link to code, more) |
| Posted: 21 Jan 2011 04:31 PM PST MIT Media Lab's DepthJS website Info from the DepthJS website: "Navigating the web is only one application of the framework we built - that is, we envision all sorts of applications that run in the browser, from games to specific utilities for specific sites. The great part is that now web developers who specialize in Javascript can work with the Kinect without having to learn any special languages or code. We believe this will allow a new set of interactions beyond what we first developed." DepthJS is open source under the AGPL license.

Unfortunately, the demo hadn't come in yet, so I decided to wait until I could give it a try. I'm curious to experiment with what it can do. http://interactivemultimediatechnology.blogspot.com  |
| Quick Link: Bill Gerba's Updated Graphic of the Digital Signage Ecosystem, 2011 Posted: 21 Jan 2011 03:36 PM PST This might interest readers who are interested in digital signage and DOOH (Digital Out-of Home): Bill Gerba is the author of Wirespring's Digital Signage Insider blog and his articles are worth taking the time to read. I especially like the way he's conceptualized the world of digital signage. He includes a graphic from 2008 and rolls out an updated version that shows how things have changed in the industry over the past few years. Visualizing How to Add Value to the Digital Signage Ecosystem Bill Gerba, The Digital Insider, 1/21/11 As I read Bill's post, it occurred to me that the changes represented in the 2011 graphic are similar to those occurring in other technology-related areas. Things are changing rapidly and it is not always easy to conceptualize things on the fly. It is helpful to understand complexity through an ecosystems model, in my opinion. http://interactivemultimediatechnology.blogspot.com  |
