Project 365 - Day 15 - Self Portrait xBox style

I have an xBox with a Kinect sensor.  The Kinect sensor part sprays out IR light and replicates the room for the xBox.  The system will then find your hands and feet and you become the controller.  It's pretty cool, and reasonably accurate.  It allows you to actually move around while playing video games.  Have you ever said "If I could just figure out how to make my guy kick the ball" - well with some games you can just swing your leg and you will kick the ball.

So, what does a guy with Kinect sensor, an IR filter and an old Nikon D50 camera do with such a system?  Take a self portrait of course!!

Here's the shot.



30 second timer on this guy to capture all the light.  No other lights except the IR. It's pretty neat, and just scratches the surface of what can be done with the IR Filter.
