Kinect Controlled Animatronic Cyborg Zombie


Submitted by Jared; May 18, 2011
When World War Z hits, I want this guy on my side. Being able to fool the zombies into thinking you're one of them may prove to be a valuable asset when the time comes. In the meant time, this very creative and effective means of controlling a cybernetic zombie to perhaps entertain crowds in line at a haunted house will have to do. The entire system uses several different applications such as modified OpenNI programming along with GlovePIE to send WiiMote commands to the cyborg such as jaw and torso movement along with MorphVOX to create the voice for the cybernetic monstrosity. He's also rigged up a webcam in order to see what's going on and effectively communicate in real-time with anyone who's got the guts to strike a conversation with this abomination.
