There's life in them thar WPF hills.

[Peter O'Hanlon]

As many of you may have seen this week - CES has been highlighting lots of cool tech, including the RealSense stuff that I'm involved with Intel with. Ultrabooks are now starting to come out with RealSense cameras in them as standard.

Now, part of my involvement with Intel is to bring the desktop side to RealSense (as opposed to all the games developers who are working with it), so I have just kicked off an Open Source project to make using RealSense a natural part of the WPF stack. 

I've shamelessly nicked a naming idea off Laurent, so this is called RealSense.Light and it's heavily under development now. The idea is that we can use it naturally and do things like have speech triggered off a binding update, or add gesture supports to lists to scroll up and down just by waving your hands up and down - or trigger a command off a tap gesture.

Anyway, this will be an ongoing project so I thought I'd just let you know that we're keeping the WPF faith alive.

Oh, and a happy new year to everyone.

Hi Peter,

That sounds like a really exciting technology to be involved in. Good luck with your open source project :-)

Cheers Colin. It's very exciting to be working on this. There's such potential with this, and it is a perfect fit for WPF. I will be presenting a talk on this at DevWeek in March, and I will be emphasising how the RealSense/WPF combination is a killer combo.

Interesting Pete. Am in discussions with Intel at the moment about licensing RS for one of my product integrations. Will let you know how that proceeds if you like.

Good luck on the open source project amf happy new year to everyone.

Cheers

That sounds really interesting Brennon. If you need any help, let me know. Who are you talking to about the licensing?

Sounds really cool. If you need any help on the WPF side let me know.

The talk is in March. There should be videos out of this.

Very cool, Pete. I'm looking forward to learning more.

Been talking to a UK chap called Hal (think his surname is Peterson) and have reached out to the SDK product manager Scott Dwyer to try and speed it all up. If you have a contact that you think could help, I would really appreciate the intro.

 

With regards to developing for it, should we get through the licensing, I am sure we would have plenty of areas you could help with and it would be great to get your views on some strategies.

 

Interestingly, we already have all the features (and more) that RS brings with a number of technologies, but for us, being able to manage all that in a single supplier and a robust single source SDK would bring other benefits. It will be interesting to understand the licensing model against what we already have.

 

Thanks for any help Peter,

 

Cheers

There are a couple of people I can reach out to, for you, if you're having problems Brennon. I've been working with the SDK for the last couple of years now (back from when it was the Perceptual Computing SDK), so I'm pretty familiar with it. I'll be more than happy to offer you advice or a pair of ears to gripe to if necessary.

You can see the talk I did about this at NDC last month, here: http://www.ndcvideos.com/#/app/video/3081

Regards,

Pete
