What is kinect??


You all might heard about KINECT.
Kinect is one of the most revolutionizing piece of hardware that i have heard about in few years.Kinect is a motion sensing input device by Microsoft for the Xbox 360 video game console and Windows PCs.

Have you ever thought of playing some games without any consoles, your hands are your stylus. All the gestures you make is only what you need. Who might have thought it few years back that your motions could be sensed and the device can understand it . Not, just your gestures, but it can work to your voice commands as well.

Kinect builds on software technology developed internally by Rare, a subsidiary of Microsoft Game Studios owned by Microsoft, and on range camera technology by Israeli developer PrimeSense, which developed a system that can interpret specific gestures, making completely hands-free control of electronic devices possible by using an infrared projector and camera and a special microchip to track the movement of objects and individuals in three dimension. This 3D scanner system called Light Coding employs a variant of image-based 3D reconstruction.

The Kinect sensor is a horizontal bar connected to a small base with a motorized pivot and is designed to be positioned lengthwise above or below the video display. The hardware device has a RGB camera, depth sensor and multi-array microphone.

Boost Your WiFi Signal Using Only a Beer Can

Boost Your WiFi Signal Using Only a Beer Can

 This actually is not my original one but i found it to be very interesting.It is good enough to be tried as it boosts the wifi speed up to 2-4 times.
 
These instructions came to us via WikiHow and we think they are most definitely worth checking out. But here is the most important question: what kind of beer will you use?

For this project you are going to need scissors, a utility knife, some adhesive putty and an empty beer can. More than one empty beer can is acceptable but don’t kid yourself, the router only needs the one.


The first step is to wash out your empty beer can, unless of course said beer is a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon. If it is PBR, promptly go drink a better beer. You really should be ashamed of yourself.
Once the can has dried, you will want to remove it’s pull tab.

Only perform this next step if you have not been drinking. Using the utility knife, saw off the bottom of the can. Chances are your can will not have a red dotted line. If you see one, put down the knife…you’ve had too much beer.


You’ll notice in the above step that the can’s pull tab has returned. Clearly, there are only two possible reasons for this. One, you are really drunk and you never removed the tab in the first place. Or–the more likely answer–beer cans can regenerate themselves.



It’s the home stretch! You just need to attach your modded beer can to the wifi router. Hopefully no other parts of the can have actually grown back. You now have beer-fi!
So, what kind of beer did you use?
