Second Story is hosting the first Volumetric Society meetup in Portland.

Anybody interested or working Kinect based experience is invited to attend. The majority of the evening is open for attendees to share their experiences with Kinect

Second Story will share our approach to many of the Kinect and Xtion powered interactives at the World of Coca Cola (http://vimeo.com/34592058) including: multiple (depth camera) sensor fusion, camera calibration techniques, real time point cloud meshing etc...

This event is hosted in the Second Story medialab, during this event we will have multiple Kinect based experience running and will also be showing a 3D volumetric display courtesy of our friends at Juliet Zulu.

SecViz.org is a great resource for security visualizations, but most suffer from a lack of interactivity. Completing kinectasploit for DEFCON19 made me realize the utility of game engines for interacting with security tools and security information. Jeff will start with a recap/encore performance of kinectasploit (http://p0wnlabs.com/defcon19), which uses gestures to drive a first-person shooter 3D game environment to break into computers on victim virtual machines. Then using the same technology, Jeff will walk through a couple scenes using standard corporate security data in a 3D, kinect-driven environment made possible by the blender game engine.

Kinect and gestures are two of the most prevalent game-changing technologies to affect user interfaces since the keyboard and mouse. Applying these tools to real-world data is challenging, fraught with pitfalls, and a heck of a lot of fun! Let’s discover the boundaries of current technology by pushing it until it fails!

PDX, come grab a beer, network and learn how the innovative RealSense™ Technology works!

Be the one of the first to explore human-computer interaction through gesture control and 3D scanning and get inspired for the future of natural user interfaces.

Intel reps will be there and give a live demo of the latest and greatest built with 3D camera tech.

Sip on some local brews, network with PDX's finest in tech and who know, maybe you'll take home one of the tablet giveaways by winning the selfie challenge.

It's all happening at ADX Portland August 19th from 7pm to 11pm and it's all free!

Register as an innovator because this is all about the newest and best 3D interactive technology.
