We’re happy to announce the release of KinEmote Public Beta 0.4 which brings a list of new features and enhancements to KinEmote users. We’ve been listening to your feedback on the KinEmote community forums and have tried to implement the most useful requests into this build to make KinEmote more fun, intuitive and functional.
The most significant new feature is ‘Virtual Mouse’ mode. We have spent many hours testing and tweaking the Virtual Mouse movement to be as smooth and natural as possible especially for the higher screen resolutions more typically found in gaming PC’s and Home Theater PC’s
There has also been a lot of work on feedback notifications making it far easier for KinEmote users to know what control planes they are using and when they are initiating and closing hand tracking sessions.
New features and enhancements in version 0.4 beta
- Virtual Mouse mode with push-to-click action.
- Enhanced visual notifications in Boxee and XBMC.
- Choice of ‘push’ or ‘wrist wave’ to initiate hand tracking sessions.
- Audio notifications for session start, front plane, back plane and session end.
- Enhanced video feedback panel.
- HUD style indicators on video feedback that react to menu navigation and plane selection.
- Camera LED notifications – off when inactive, green for front plane, red for back plane.
- Xbox Kinect motor control to adjust the angle of your camera.
- Completely revised settings menus for simple intuitive configuration.
- Updated main user interface.
KinEmote is free to download from the download section of the KinEmote community forums HERE
We hope you’ll love this new version
