Good morning everyone,
I'm a researcher at the Centre for Sports Engineering Research at Sheffield Hallam University.
We're currently very interested in the potential of the Microsoft Kinect as a potential research tool and we're trying to set-up a project to develop free software which the Biomechanics community can use.
In the meantime we're exploring potential research areas and posting up articles to our blog (engineeringsport.co.uk (http://engineeringsport.co.uk)).
It's proving to take a little more time than we anticipated so the work is being written up in parts, but they'll be posted up over the following weeks.
If anyone is interested in the potential of the Kinect we invite you to visit the blog and comment on the article, we'd love to hear this communities thoughts, suggestions and ideas with regards to the future of the Kinect and what they'd like to see. For example, I noticed that it was mentioned recently regarding a portable gait analysis tool.
I'll post up here as we release each section.
Thanks
