Chaotic Moons Lab´s use Kinect for is Board of Awesomeness

For all of you how watch "back to the future" and always dream of having a hoverboard since that, Chaotic Moons Lab´s is maybe going somewhere with there board of awesomeness, its not flying, but you can control the speed and breaks just by moving your arms.


the board is equipped with a Kinect camera on the front, witch will transmit the user movement to a Samsung Windows 8 tablet touchscreen, that is the brain of the board, allowing you to watch your movements and control the speed of the electric motor of the board, that can go to 32mph (50khm). The tablet also allow speech recognition, location data and a accelerometer.


Using it is extremely simple, the user just need to raise is hands to signal the Kinect device, look for the red dots to appear on is hands, and is good to go, then the user just need to push is hands forward to speed up and pulling is hands back to slow down or stop.

A smart way to use the Kinect don´t you think?
