The Kinect continues to be not only a fun toy with the XBox, but an interesting research tool for spatial tracking. Another interesting project with it comes from “programming4fun” who merged it with a Windows phone for some interesting head-tracked fake holograms.
In addition to robotic avatars catering to your every wish, [programming4fun] also put together a rudimentary helicopter flight simulator controlled by tilting cell phone. It’s the same DirectX 9 heli from [programming]‘s original build. with the addition of Desert Strike-esque top-down graphics. This might be the future of gaming here, so we’ll keep our eyes out for similar head-tracking 3D builds.
