Hand Tracking with MS Research and Kinect at Future Decoded 2015
Hand Tracking with MS Research and Kinect at Future Decoded 2015 A bit of a departure from RoomBuilder, which I haven't blogged about for a long time, but which is going VR... stay tuned. This post is about graphics and relates to something that's pretty cool - hand tracking using a Kinect sensor. I was lucky enough to attend Future Decoded last week.
