Quite a while ago I wrote about a young aspiring company named
Rarebyte. The guys at Rarebyte have a bunch of very innovative ideas ,… one of them is a new operational area for the
Microsoft Kinect platform.
Their idea is to use the Kinect platform with associated middle-ware to create a new way for interactive public space advertising.
The System is installed at the subway station Stephansplatz in Vienna as part of the (re)branding marketing campaign of A1.
Visitors of the subway station at the Stephansplatz can see themselves with speech and thought bubbles above their heads that contain entertaining and product specific slogans as well as different A1 logos.
But see for yourself 🙂

The guys from the University of Beira Interior (Department of Informatics) came up with a wonderful idea how to use the
Kinect to improved quality of life for disabled persons.
The wi-GO project is a robot system based on sensor technology Kinect that enables disabled persons, elderly and pregnant women, .. to carry objects without difficulty, comfortably and safely.
The following video shows the difficulties a person in a wheelchair faces when navigating a shopping cart into a store.
But see for your self 🙂

It’s been almost a year since we started with our Quadrocopter workshop. Now the first quadros reached the “
read for test flight” status.
Martin just send me some pictures from his mostly finished NG-UAVP based quadrocopter.
As you can see he decided to build a H frame. Let’s see how it performs under flight conditions 🙂
