| Kinect Sensor for Xbox 360 Offers Full-Body and Gesture Interaction: No controllers or remotes! Posted: 22 Jun 2010 11:14 AM PDT Project Natal was the code name for the Kinect Sensor for Xbox 360. For $149.99 you can pre-order your very-own system from the Microsoft Store that will allow you to interact with video games with your body alone. No need for controllers or 'motes! Presentation about the fitness benefits of the Kinect Sensor for Xbox 360: This video is a preview of a dance game for the Xbox using the Kinect Sensor: It would be great if I could do my Zumba moves with Kinect Sensor system and a great Xbox application! Here's another video that explains the system in more detail, with brief interviews of innovators from Microsoft: Here is a copy of my previous post about Project Natal: How It Works: Microsoft's Project Natal for the Xbox 360 video from Scientific American Microsoft gathered a wealth of biometric data to recognize the range of human movement in order to develop an algorithm for the next generation of controller-less gaming. "Natal will consist of a depth sensor that uses infrared signals to create a digital 3-D model of a player's body as it moves, a video camera that can pick up fine details such as facial expressions, and a microphone that can identify and locate individual voices." The technology behind Natal has the potential for a range of uses beyond gaming.

HOWTO: Use Ubuntu Software Center in Mint 9 |
| HOWTO: Use Ubuntu Software Center in Mint 9 Posted: 22 Jun 2010 07:00 PM PDT There are a few reasons why I use Linux Mint instead of Ubuntu on my systems. That being said one of the reasons I do not list for using Mint over Ubuntu is their "Software Manager". The software manager in Mint 8 was flat out sad compared to the Ubuntu Software Center that Ubuntu 9.10 included. Now even though the software manager in Mint 9 has many improvements, it still has issues, and I don't think it is quiet on-par with the updated Software Center Ubuntu 10.04 includes. Now I still like Mint and a poor software center is not enough to make me to stop using the distro as a whole. As such, a quick fix to the issue is to remove Mint Install and apt-get the Ubuntu Software Center. Now this works fine in Mint 8, but after installing the Ubuntu Software Center in Mint 9 I was greeted by a lovely terminal out when the application failed to load: jeff@jubuntu ~ $ software-centerAfter having a thread go nowhere useful for a day and a half on the Mint forums, I decided to put my python background to use and try to resolve the issue myself. The following steps are what I have done to resolve the issue. Open a terminal and run the following in order: sudo apt-get install software-center wget http://www.tophattwaffle.com/wp-content/files/jeff/custom__init__ sudo rm /usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/distro/__init__.py sudo mv custom__init__ /usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/distro/__init__.py And you are all set! Run software-center and it should pop right up for you. Now, if you are like myself and want the Ubuntu Software Center to run instead of the Mint Software Manager when you click "Software Manager" on your Mint Menu run the following in terminal: sudo apt-get purge mintinstall sudo ln -s /usr/bin/software-center /usr/bin/mintinstall Now in case you are curious (or don't trust me) the edit I made to the __init__.py file you are downloading is made on line 72 in the _get_distro function. By default this line reads: distro_id = subprocess.Popen(["lsb_release","-i","-s"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()[0].strip() My updated line simply manually sets our distro_id to be Ubuntu. distro_id = "Ubuntu" Hackish, but it works :) Isn't it fantastic when you have the source code for a piece of software so people can create fixes such as this? Have any input on the subject or an issue with the HOWTO drop a comment below. ~Jeff Hoogland  |

| iRiS: iPhone Remote Interaction System, Newly Updated Posted: 21 Jun 2010 03:01 PM PDT "We used Touch Projector to paint on a multimedia facade (here: Ars Electronica Center, Linz, Austria). Users simply aim their device at the facade causing the viewfinder to show the facade locally. In this local image, users can now draw with the selected color. The building then changes its color accordingly as if users directly painted on it." iRiS Team: Alexander Wiethoff http://www.medien.ifi.lmu.de/ Magdalena Blöckner Johannes Schöning http://www.johannesschoening.
