First proof of concept, now the usecase... :-)

Me in a 3d picture via Kinect on my mac

Now I got my kinect connected to my Mac, it is time to rock. As you might know, I am a big fan of Plex, the open source kick ass media center on a Mac (and other OS-es as well). use your iPhone as a remote for you telly, use an iPad as the display to watch TV shows or Movies. And via the pugin system, tune in to the many additional channels and features. A great app.

So combining plex and a kinect. Browse through your coverflow movies by hand. Fast forward with your hands. Sound up whith raising your arm.

Visions of the future? Nope. See

and download / compile the handyplex code. I will do it next weekend....

One -if not the only one- of the reasons I bought an XBOX instead of PS3... The Kinect. The coolest piece of hardware from the last decennium.

More information about the possibilities soon.
