The Kinect for Xbox has been hacked to make you invisible. The effect allows you to use the Kinect to make you invisible as you walk past it in a way similar to what looks like the Predator on the movie from the late 1980’s.
The invisibility hack was created by Takayuki Fukatsu and uses OpenFrameworks, open source C++ tool kit and a Microsoft Kinect.
Instructions on how it was made are not available but we assume a picture of the background is captured and then when you walk past, it detects your body and replaces you with a transparent layer with some rendering so you are not 100% invisible.
More hacks will continue to arrive, so keep an eye out and we’ll mention them all. To see this particular effect in play, check out the embedded video below.
