This Kinect hack is arguably the coolest so far (I know we say that every time): Yan Keyan has hacked Kinect to track a wooden stick and make it appear like he’s wielding a Star Wars lightsaber.
He explains: “This is a proof of concept demonstration of tracking and rendering a lightsaber in realtime using a Kinect hooked up to a PC.” We’re particularly impressed that he’s also managed to get the sound effects working. Hop through to see the Kinect lightsaber hack in all its glory…
