•Leveraged Kinect’s RGB sensor and paired it with printed augmented reality markers to tag points     of interest (such as doors, to enable navigation).
•Used C#/.NET, a managed wrapper of OpenNI, ARToolkitPlus3 and the Microsoft Speech Engine.
Navigational Aid for the Blind
•Utilized Skeletal tracking through the Kinect for Windows SDK and implemented very specific gestures with the primary use case of augmenting interaction with Windows while presenting from a distance.
•Built an automated skeletal recognition algorithm to recognize authorized users whose dimensions were stored in the system.
•Built in a ‘mouse mode’ as a fallback to soften the learning curve.
Natural User Interface using Microsoft Kinect
•Developed using JavaScript to work around the static HTML website’s restrictions (no server side code or database).
•Abstracted the implementation to an ‘Add to Quote’ element placed on each item page, scripted to copy item details from the DOM to a shopping cart data structure (Persisted in HTML5 Local Storage with Cookies as fallback).
•Implemented a Checkout System integrated with Formstack & Mailchimp APIs to deliver quote requests to the client.
•Optimized JavaScript performance by 30% to ensure a quality User Experience on older hardware & legacy browsers.
