This is a quick post on a simple project demonstrating how you can pass Kinect sensor values to Windows Phone 7 Mango using nodejs. This was inspired by this concept video. (Thanks to Oren for helping me out with me error on the localhost thing in getting node and WP7 to communicate with each other) Steps 1. Install NITE/PrimeSense as described in this post. This will ensure that our Kinect setup is working. This will also have the c++ source code that we will modify later (Don’t worry, no coding required). ...

Today, a bunch of SG developers registered in AppHub got their Mango Beta 2 Connect invite so they can update their WP7 devices to Mango. You can refer to this blog post titled “Developers Get Goody Basket Full of Mangos” from the Windows Phone Developer Blog to find out more about why developers are getting this update. If you’re too lazy to read, here’s the summary towards the end of that post: ...

In this post I am going to carry on from where we last left off. For those who did not get to see our earlier posts here is [part 1] and [part 2]. Am going to briefly show you how to retrieve data, specifically from project nimbus, and put it in your app. A pre-requisite for using Project Nimbus would be an account key, which you can get by dropping them an email [projectnimbus@live.com.sg]. If you wish, you may use other datasets for your app as well. ...

Sensors Hey guys, its Shank again. It seems that quite a number of you are were quite enthusiastic about writing your very own AR app after my first post. For those who have not read part one yet, well here’s the link to that post: http://weshipcode.com/developers/wp7arparti/ In this post, we are going to continue from where we last left off. By now, you would have an application that can display the camera stream on your screen. That’s great, but for an AR Application we also need to know the device’s movements and orientation, in order to display the information correctly on the screen. In this post we are going to explore 3 sensors and see how to hook up the data from those sensors to our application. ...

Introduction Hi guys, I am Shank (Sangar), a Microsoft Student Intern from NTU. I am also a hobbyist Windows Phone 7 developer having developed apps such as ‘NewsSG’ and ‘SG Elections’. I was recently arrowed tasked by Chris Ismael to explore the Windows Phone Mango SDK and come up with tutorials that would help you guys, build apps that capitalize on the new APIs. (alright, i confess… he was making me do this as he was lazy to learn it by himself) ...
