Event Details

Two fascinating topics this month…

A brief showcase of some fun WPF animations
Patrick Klug, Novamind

and a look into how NovaMind used these animations in the new NovaMind Presenter. Patrick will briefly share lessons about animation performance, shader usage and animation best practices along with some open-source project recommendations.

About Patrick Klug
Patrick is one of the guys behind the Windows version of the mind mapping software NovaMind (www.novamind.com) and is very comfortable with C#, GDI+ and WPF.

Kinecting The Dots – Developing with the Kinect SDK
Bronwen Zande and John O'Brien, Soul Solutions

The Microsoft Kinect holds the Guiness World Record as the fastest-selling consumer electronics device ever, selling 8 million units in the first 2 months. With the recent release of the official SDK, you are the controller, with the ability to change the face of future applications. Learn how to take advantage of depth sensing, skeletal tracking and speech recognigion in a sub $200 device.

We’ll cover some more advanced skeleton functions, integration with the XNA game engine and gestures. Learn how to build a compelling application using the Kinect and your existing .Net skills.
