Winners of Willow Garage ROS 3D Kinect Contest
     


The winners of Willow
Garage's 3D Kinect contest that we reported on a while back have
been announced! The first prize was taken by a program that allows you
to create your own touch-sensitive controls by simply drawing some
buttons on a piece of paper seen by your Microsoft Kinect and then use
those buttons for ... anything really. The video above shows how the
buttons can be configured as a sound board. Other prizes were awarded
for using the Kinect on quadrotors and for teleoperation. A real-time
color 3D mapping tool and an automatic calibration tool were awarded
prizes as the most useful programs. For more details, have a look at the
3D Kinect
contest's results on the ROS blog.
