If you haven’t seen this already, you need to. The Xbox Kinect is not only revolutionizing gaming, it will revolutionize the way humans interact with machines, including robots (think: robots can now more easily interpret human gestures).
Ryan Gordon, from http://ryangordon.net/, got things started by building and sharing a LabVIEW wrapper for the OpenKinect library. Then John Wu, another LabVIEW programmer, took things one step further building an example VI for 3D scene construction using the Kinect sensor and point clouds.

Thank you John and Ryan! This is the beginning of some incredible and exciting work!

This is great, I’m in LabVIEW class and would love to see the code on that. If there is any open source send it this way.
Hey Troy,
Click on the link to John Wu’s blog. You can download the code from there.
