Students build auto-tracking Nerf turret with Arduino and Kinect (youtube.com) 12 points by theyCallMeSwift 12y ago ↗ HN
[–] jonmarkgo 12y ago ↗ I always wanted to build one of these, never thought of using a Kinect for some reason. I've tried doing it with Arduino and the CMUcam before but it's fairly complex to implement that way.
[–] sophiaedm 12y ago ↗ Do you have the contact information for Conor & Jacob? Someone from the press should reach out to them and cover this story-- such a great hack!
[–] wylie 12y ago ↗ Is there a link to the source code or blog post? Seems like this would be a great starting point to build a game on. [–] moizk 12y ago ↗ Couldn't find the code but here's some more info: http://mhackswinter2014.challengepost.com/submissions/20138-...
