. We have featured a number of Kinect hacks here on Geeky Gadgets but YouTube user has uploaded an interesting video that combines a Microsoft Kinect motion controller with a Android tablet device using openFrameworks video. Is a c library designed to assist the creative process by providing a simple and intuitive framework for experimentation combining together several commonly used libraries under a tidy interface: openGL for graphics, rtAudio for audio input and output, freeType for fonts,freeImage for image input and output, quicktime for video playing and sequence grabbing. Watch the video of the Kinect and Android Combination after the jump. The connect made between Android and the Kinect is thought to be the very first and very little information is available at the moment about exact specifics.

Welcome to the OpenKinect project. About OpenKinect is an open community of people interested in making use of the amazing Xbox Kinect hardware with our PCs and other devices.
We are working on free, open source libraries that will enable the Kinect to be used with Windows, Linux, and Mac. The OpenKinect community consists of over 2000 members contributing their time and code to the Project. Our members have joined this Project with the mission of creating the best possible suite of applications for the Kinect. OpenKinect is a true 'open source' community!
Our primary focus is currently the libfreenect software. Code contributed to OpenKinect where possible is made available under an Apache20 or optional GPL2 license. Source code is available here:.
