Kinect Water Cycle for Shout!!

If you were at the Microsoft Partners In Learning European Forum, you may have had the pleasure of listening to a brilliant presentation from Mandeep Atwal. Her dedication to the Shout Program is second to none.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mandeep when I was given the opportunity to show some of the Shout Learning Materials I had been preparing and using in Lodge Park Technology College. I was invited to present in one of the online technical webinars see more here.

If you were lucky enough to view the online webinar you will have learnt about some applications I have built for use with the Kinect SDK.

Many people are scared of the knowledge they need to use the Kinect SDK, however the great thing about this program is that you only need to install the Kinect SDK and runtime files from here. Once you have installed them, you can install the application from here. It is also to download more of these Kinect applications by joining the Microsoft Partners In Learning Network. Search for the user K-Team and you will find a collaboration of teachers who are preparing Kinect and Kodu materials for your own use.

The only thing you need to do now is RUN and ENJOY! No need for programming knowledge! ENJOY!

Kinect Orchestra for V1 of SDK

On the 1st of February, Microsoft released the new version of the SDK. Since then, some of you may have noticed that some of the applications do not work. I have slowly been working through some of these applications so that they can be re-developed to work with the new release. You can check out a video of it being used below and you can also download the application from the link below.

The great thing about this application is that it runs a simple install file. Once you have installed it, it puts it in your start menu and then you can click on it to load whenever you need it.

I would like to thank @ritzertech for his help with this application. The layout has been corrected since the video shown below.
