Investigate how to combine Android, Kinect and a projector to turn any surface into an interface

The free development community on Android doesn't stop and is an inexhaustible source of resources. This time the Kinect joint has been held, Microsoft's motion control device, next to a Galaxy Nexus and be used by gestures while a cinema projector is responsible for plasmating the images.

For such endeavor, its creator, Colin Edwars (don't confuse with the MotoGP rider), has used his Samsung Galaxy Nexus and a projector, you've connected via MHL interface, joining them to a PC with Simple Kinect Touch plus the Microsoft peripheral, Kinect.

Like this, once the projector launches the Galaxy Nexus images to the projection screen, Kinect records and converts movements into information you send to your PC. Through Simple Kinect Touch on PC and a specific app on the Galaxy Nexus, called TuioForAndroid, projected images of the Galaxy Nexus and movements captured by Kinect turn the environment into an immense, capacitive touchscreen.

This converts any surface, like a wall for example, on an augmented touchscreen that can be very useful for making presentations in public.
