Um....the iOS gestural interface is the very definition of derivative and obvious.

We need a gesture for navigating to the next page! How about swiping the screen like when you go to the next page like in a book? Wow...How did you come up with that?

The interface is primarily derived from manipulating tangible objects in the real-world. How much more derivative can one get?

Pro-Publica is a new and viable model for non-profit investigative journalism. They constantly impress me (take a look at their awards) and put most other news orgs to shame. If only other public media orgs would take notice and stop being such MSM wannbes. I'm looking at you NPR.

If you know how the unit/compositing setup works you can implement all kinds of additional software layers that will do just that. I have a Kinect interacting with Resolume 3 right next to me at the moment that I'm testing. My biggest issue at the moment is actually TUIOKinect being an asshole...everything else works great.

I'm not sure I'd trust Google not to use the opportunity to take a low blow at Apple though and that's one thing the industry doesn't need.

Which industry? Music or computing? How does one qualify a low-blow?

Are you familiar with Apple's interactions with smaller companies such as CDBaby? Was that a low-blow?

I'm genuinely curious as to what you mean.

The predator algorithim (and other ones no doubt under development) using the two sets of data from a Kinect camera will still be superior to an algorithm using just one set of data.

This is what I'm thinking as well. I've done a bit of Kinect data stream/parsing experiments with other input types (like adding a touch screen to record "impact" data while the kinect detects telemetry) and I think adding predator will be pretty damn useful.

I can't really go into the really killer kinect tracking shit I've been working on (NDA) but predator might solve a few issues I've been having.

Exciting!
