This short lesson shows you how you can put your left hand above your head and then use your right hand to control where an image is positioned. It is a short video but should be easy to follow. It works on the concept that if your hand position on the Y Axis is greater then the head position on the X Axis, then carry out the canvas position of the image.
It’s a very short lesson to follow and there shouldn’t be any problems. The video is available in HD on YouTube so you will be able to see the text in a lot more detail and it shouldn’t be too difficult to read. Hope it helps!
You can download the sample files here and you can watch the video below to see if you can replicate the same.
I am the Lead teacher of computing at Brooke Weston Academy in Corby Northamptonshire. Previously I was the head of IT/Computing at Uppingham Community College.
In 2015 I won the Gold National Teaching award for Innovative use of technology. I also won the 2015 Young Game Bafta - Mentor award. I'm keen to help students achieve their best and like to give them opportunities to do this.
I have a passion for teaching and I enjoy meeting other people and sharing their ideas. I have a keen interest in games development as well as developing the use of ICT in classrooms across the curriculum.
In my spare time I teach Irish dancing. I have been Irish dancing since I was 11. My highest position was 14th at the world championships 3 years running and 2nd at the Great Britain Championships in 2006.

Hi There, It shouldn’t matter what sense you use. I use both with it and it works fine. Have you extracted all of the files? What errors are you getting – can you email them to ray_chambers@lodgepark.org.uk and I’ll see what I can do.

hello,sorry for disturbing you again 🙂
i have question, is it possible to create an interface to link to the activity that been created in C#, for example an interface where the user can choose from 4 activity available,and after finish with the activity they have choose, they can get back to the first interface and choosing other activity?

You need to buy an adapter, it is roughly £10 on ebay. They’re quite easy to come by. Just search Kinect Power Adapter on Ebay etc..
Hope this helps

There is a power adapter which will let you plug it into USB online. They’re about 7-10 GBP if you look on ebay.
