Neil Gannon

Outline• Demonstrations using a Microsoft Kinect sensor

– Image Manipulation• Real-time Invisibility• Background removal (green screen)

– Paint the user into different scenes/paintings/videos

– 2D Augmentation• Body part tracking• Body part overlays (faces, costumes, particle effects)

– 3D Augmentation• Skeleton Rendering• 3D interactions (real-time physics demonstration)

– 3D Kinect Controlled Game Demo• Navigate open space and interact with 3D objects

15/20 mins
