Friday / Nov18 / 6:00pm / Free

We are having a free, Kinect workshop for artists, designer, and creative coders. You show up with a computer and we’ll get you everything you need to start building interactive experiences with the Kinect. That’s right, we’ll set you up with the software tools and know-how to produce your very own depth-sensing application. The workshop is happening Nov 17 at TBJ.

If you just want to sit back and take it all in, then skip the workshop and check out the demo night celebration! The day after the workshop, anyone interested will give short lightning talks on their workshop projects. In addition, we’ll be previewing two interactive installations which will be shown at the Honolulu Academy of Arts’ November Bank of Hawaii Family Sunday.

Proposed Schedule:
Thursday, Nov17 — Workshop @ The Box Jelly
– Kinect / 3D Interactive Programming overview
– software install
– create your own “hello world” application (Think mini-Aaron Koblin’s Radiohead, House of Cards video! Here and here.)

Friday, Nov18 — Demo Night @ Interisland Terminal's R&D
– short, lightning talk presentations (< 4 min each) on the workshop projects

You do not have to attend one event to attend the other. But we promise they will all be fun, social, and kid friendly. Please email me at kyleoba@gmail.com if you have any questions.
