Chatting recently with Mike Brondbjerg recently about some data visualisation ideas around using the Microsoft Band and we came to the conclusion that getting live sensor data from the band into the browser would open up the opportunity to use…
Its over a year now since I published these two blog posts: Windows Phone Mobile VR (Gyro Head Tracking in Unity3D) Windows Phone Mobile VR (Stereoscopic Rendering + Lens Distortion in Unity 3D) which discussed some introductory topics around mobile…
Along with my colleague at Microsoft, David Gristwood I have been working on and off on an IOT reference architecture using data from the Microsoft Band. Dave focuses on the Azure side of things and I am traditionally a more…
Lately I have been investigating the new Office add-ins (the ones built on open web tech). Alongside the other additions to the Office platform; Unified APIs and AD apps they present a great surface area for solving higher level business…
Although very simple I thought this was worth blogging as I didn’t see too many UWP (Universal Windows Platform) samples using the Microsoft Band SDK. I gave a talk recently at the Microsoft IOT Hackathon at the Microsoft Offices in…

For my own learning I wanted to understand the process of using the Kinect V2 to drive the real-time movement of a character made in 3D modelling software. This post is the first part of that learning which is taking…
In my previous post I showed how to get an environment set up with Openframeworks and Kinect V2.0 for Windows Store. I’d like to elaborate on that a little and run through a demo app I recently created. Since these…
