Hello ,
I wish to apply for the GSOC 2015 project Control of simulations with gesture input. I am a final Year student in the University of Buea , Faculty of Engineering and Technology , I am a Software Developer. So if chosen, I will go a long way in implementing the project. I have a blog at lewispace.wordpress.com and lewisitor.blogspot.com. I have a github repository for an android app https://github.com/lewisitor/knowtheday. I wanted to ask if the device (Kinect and the Leap Motion) will be provided to the candidate upon acceptance. Just going accross the Kinect javascript API, from the link https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn435664.aspx . Am trying right now to build a demo version.

Thanks for your kind Understanding and patience,

                                                                    Bokossah Itor Lewis.

Welcome, Lewis.  For this project, it will be useful to understand how Kinect's API for js works.  Leap Motion's API is also available on the web, and that device is a strong contender for an input device. (There is a lot of information about the two devices on this list.) 

GSoC candidates have been tackling some of the code exercises proposed in the thread called 

Possible coding options for GSoC students

and other places on this list.  Maybe soon there will be a new challenge.

Since we will be integrating gesture control into these interactive models, being familiar with the code behind them will be most useful.  

As for your question about the device, we will support the chosen candidate however we can in in order to be successful.

Piotr is my co-mentor for this project, with more specific technical knowledge.

Best, -Nathan
