Kinect goes Artistic, creates a series of hauntingly beautiful photos
Quick Share:
Most of the Kinect hacks we have covered so far at Geekword were based around video games. How about we change it a little bit? Thanks to CNET, we now know that Kinect has hidden Artistic skills. This amazing bit of discovery was made by San Francisco Bay Area artist Audrey Penven.
Penven noticed something unusual in the pictures of her and her friends which were taken while playing Kinect games. She saw that Kinect projects a known pattern of infrared structured light. Penven being an artist set out to record this amazing bit of discovery for everyone and used a Kinect and a camera that can shoot infrared rays to create a series of hauntingly beautiful photos. Looking at the picture shown above, the image looks nice and not creepy at all. What’s your take on this Kinect hack?
