Controlling the JOG with Kinect


Submitted by Jared; April 09, 2011
We've seen a few autonomous robotic vehicles being controlled using Kinect since the Kinect was hacked way back in November, so why stop there right? Here's a video released by MSIbnSeddik that illustrates how they were able to control a remote car by launching a socket server and connecting to a remote machine via ssh in order to move the car with gestures using the XBOX 360 Kinect. The video has a few more details along with a live demonstration of their work. Source: YouTube - Proof of concept PI 2011
