ADN China to Microsoft Kinect he won the third prize in the national competition, our creative project and team Kinect on naviswork virtual tour

Here is my English to write a short summary, directly posted out. Let us know we're here to join Hackathon.

That's a exciting Hackathon for me and also the China team, I think.   We experienced the full process, and learned a lot on how to organize a nice Hackathon. Meanwhile it is also a good team building activity. ? Through This Hackathon, we worked closely, and more on each of the other.


It took place in Microsoft's office (Microsoft University Floor). It has a big open area for coffee, break, and meal for 50-60 people, and a huge training hall. People registered the event, and eventually-showed up.
This are a hours Hackathon, the language for the Hackathon is 中文版. (starting course, team presentations is all in 中文版).

About ten teams joined the competition. Our team name is Shen Xing Zhe (God Walker), which means Miracle Walker, is the only team that doesn ' t has the experience of kine CT programming.  As Daniel said, one external developer joined our team.  Eventually 5 teams win prizes.  We are among it. The reward for each member are an "Arch Touch wireless Mouse".



Our project was to develop a virtual roaming tool using the Kinect sensor within Naviswork. We thought Naviswork should has the good performance of updating its 3D viewer frequently. (The result shows it is.)  Naviswork ' s view is very sensitive to the motion of captured by the Kinect sensor). Xiaodong is a key contributor on the camera controlling in NW, he did a great job!


We designed the motions to control the Naviswork view ' s camera (position, direction). Control the turn left or right by the hands virtually holding a steering wheel, stretching both arms in right ahead MEA NS walking forward, collapsing arms means move backward.  Marching on the spot means walking in the Naviswork model.  We even can control the walking speed by speed of the knee ' s move frequency. Finally didn ' t show that in the presentation for it takes time to give a ideal factor to get a ideal walking speed in th   E model.   This motion judge function can is used for any of our 3D products, for example, Revit, Cloud Viewer. (We'll see how are the performance for Revit, Cloud Viewer)


One thought about the time:i think-hours is a good time.  During The hours, I only slept for 3 hours. 1.5 hour before the Presentation/judge, my head was kind of exhausted. If we'll hold a hours Hackathon, it's better to let the audience to have a longer sleep.

I was presenting my idea of my team project.

Working hard on the coding and researching.




Testing the connection of the Kinect with computer test program.

Lunch break and discussion on the solution. The right one was one of our team member from outside of Autodesk (where is Joe?). I was taking the photo).

We got some gifts like:nice glasses bottle (not the disposable bottle), snacks. In the purpose of letting more people know this Hackathon event. Additional watches for those who gkfx the event using Weibo or Weixin (similar cloud apps like Twitter)) and get good F Eedback from their friends/followers. (Good idea of the using the social media. For sure, We'll also use the social media-for-our-own Hackathon in Shanghai.)

Thank Daniel, Zhong on the extensive and programming for our Cloud Viewer and motion Builder. Your Cloud, web programming expertise is very impressive, good job!
Xianhua helped the Miracle Walker team on the logistics, and also accommodated me and Xiaodong in this condo (very close t o the Microsoft Office), and also act as the Roaming Walkers for many times of Test standing before the Kinect sensor!
and special thanks to Xiaodong for he excellent job on programming in the Naviswork side, and also his impressive suggest Ion, ideas for the team and make the virtual roaming in Naviswork true!
