Kinect + Google Earth!
This video is the result of a project realized at the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, in the Multimodal Interactions and Interfaces course, in Autumn 2011.
For the final Street View implementation, cf. • Street View + Kinect!
It consists in using the Microsoft Kinect console to control navigation in Google Earth and Google Street View.
The user can use his own body to move the camera in Google Earth, instead of the usual keyboard/mouse paradigm.
Special thanks to Samer for lending us the Kinect!
Uses: Google Earth plugin, Kinect SDK, Microsoft Visual Studio Express C# 2010.
