Mousing around with the Kinect v2

A mouse control application for Kinect v2, including a couple of options for various uses.

Link Removed

I’m so glad that I’ve just become a Microsoft Kinect MVP since this July, so I think I need to do more things.

One request asked most since the original Kinect came out is, “can I use my hand to control the mouse cursor?” There you can find a few applications for doing this with original Kinect on the web.

These days, some people still asked me for this kind of application for Kinect v2. Then I strangely found there’s no such downloadable applications on the web. I gotta release a Kinect v2 version app. And here’s it, with source code!


Options:

• Mouse Sensitivity
• Pause-To-Click Time Required
  The time you hold your hand for as a click
  
  
• Pause Movement Thresold
  How large the circle range you hold your hand inside for a little while would be a click
  
  
• Cursor Smoothing
  The large it is, the smoother the cursor would move, more slowly as well.
  
  
• Grip Gesture
  Grip to drag/click
• Pause To Click
  Hold your hand and don’t move for a little while to click.
• No clicks, move cursor only
