Hardware DIY website posted a reward notice to recruit Kinect crack master

Local network (compilation/applies) According to overseas media reports, just after the Kinect began selling sales at midnight last night, today there is a famous hardware DIY website called Adafruit posted a reward notice. The announcement says that whoever is able to write a source-code driver that allows Kinect to be used on a variety of hardware can be rewarded with 2000 dollars they have issued.　　Participants submit their own source code and take a clear video of the application to upload to their site. The site says the target is for all the world's technical lunatics and warmly welcomes the participation of Microsoft employees.　　Their initial bonuses were set at 1000 dollars, but then they found that Microsoft had specifically encrypted the Kinect to prevent it from being broken, so they doubled the amount of the prize to encourage the master to appear.　　Website Reward Announcement screenshot The organizer of the event, Phillip Torrone, said in an interview that the Kinect is an astonishing piece of hardware that should not be confined to the XB360 platform, and that its camera-recognition function should also play a shining light on other hardware. "The first thing we thought of was being able to apply to robotics," Phillip Torrone said. "We also think it can be used in education, just like the Wii mote." "(Edit/Ming)
