Reading List: O’Reilly books to release Kinect hacking title.

We’re not huge makers here at Kill Screen. We tinker with prose, not with Arduino.

But if you are one of those handy types, O’Reilly publishing is releasing a new title called Making Things See as handbook for computer vision projects:

• Learn about face recognition, gait analysis, and depth imaging
• Analyze and manipulate point clouds
• Track people with skeletonization and pose detection, and use blob tracking to detect objects
• Use gestural interfaces for assistive technology
• Create models for design and fabrication, using 3D scanning technology and a 3D printer
• Delve into motion tracking for animation and games
• Build every project in this book with inexpensive off-the-shelf components

Fun fun fun.
