Ubi Displays makes building interactive projected displays quick and easy by allowing you to drag and drop interactive web content into the world around you. Think of it as a programming environment for physical spaces!
This video is a quick walkthrough that guides you through the steps required to create some simple interactive projected displays. You can download the toolkit and sample displays here: code.google.com...
You can see some of these in action here: • Ubi Displays - create ...
Hardware Requirements:
- Microsoft Kinect (and SDK 1.6 www.microsoft.c...)
- Projector (any will do)
- Windows 7 PC
p.s. As this project is research driven, if you would be happy to email me information and photos of the things you build, it would be very helpful. I would love to feature them in my thesis. :-)

np! Sensor placement doesn't really matter, just as long as it can see the finger tips. Keep it less than 1.4m for best results :) There is an FAQ on the google code project page.
Kudos to you sir. I have now gone through all of the different Kinect mutlitouch surface apps I could find, and as a non-programmer, yours is the only one I've even been able to get running. The fact that you made it easy enough to install and use deserves praise.
Is your stuff relate to the other ubi kinect display project?
Hi Anton, you can download the toolkit from the first link in the video description :) there is also a community support forum link on the same site
A couple of people have mentioned they can't get Bing Maps to work with it. To enable automatic touch injection, double click the "Surface 0" name and select it as an option.
By default, it is the role of the display to select an appropriate interaction method for the content. For example, foot detection, touch detection or gestures.
Hi Andre, you need to enable experimental touch mode for other websites -- it basically a tick box that injects the necessary JS -- details are on the support forum and and known issues wiki page. Hope that helps!
It does not have to be near the projector but try to keep within 1.4m of the touch surface for best results :) please share your project on the support forum!
I was looking for this solution! I was on the forums trying to figure out why touch didn't work. I'm totally making a party game with this.
In the beta, this can be done through HTML. However, the next version will let you use full desktop applications. I hope to have this uploaded in the next few weeks once it has been tested. :-) If you email me, I can send you a preview version.
Hi Dan, it sounds like you might need the touch fix download or enable the experimental injection mode. We've just added FAQ wiki and a forum on the google code side if you have q's :)
do we have to place the prjector and the kinect one below anotheror can it be placed at different position
they can be put in different positions :)
Hm strange! Keep the Kinect closer than 1.4m, make sure you are running on a fairly fast PC (i5) and if you are using it on general web pages, make sure they are touch enabled and you have enabled the experimental touch mode. :) hope that helps!
I will once I actually get something made. I posted about a bug on the nui forum. I'm still trying to find the best angles, etc, for the kinect so it can be out of the way yet fairly accurate. I've noticed that for some reason if you try to make a full screen window it won't function. Not sure why yet but I just started messing with it last night.
Hello John.
Thanks for all the work developed. Any news regarding a version that can run desktop apps/program?
Thanks
I can set it all up perfectly (i'm using an external monitor instead of a projector) but i can't seem to get any touch controls
Hello... That amaz project, can you explan wah software u use?? Thx alot
Jhon, I have a new problem, When charge a HTML file with a .swf of flash nested, I can´t see it but I can hear it, Why I don´t achieve tha visualization. thanks a lot.
Hi John. I have the same problem. i can't seem to get any touch controls. I already install the fix but still not working. What do you suggest?
is it possible to use multi touch applications such as smoke, fire, pond etc. with this setup??
THX. But i have no dots. What Forum you use for this Toolkit?
I have read something with locales in th EU Version. Was this the error? I come from Germany.
Hello, I have a question: I saw this video again, and I tried to use the bing map, but I couldn't. Is it a different bing map website? I mean, did you change it to allow touch events? How do I make it work? Tks.
Incredible, you sir are awesome.
Jhon thank you for share your work, but I have a problem, I can´t set Open NI and Open CV libraries, I install these libraries but it generate many errors, I copy this tutorial since the final part, but I don´t achieved the detection, Is it for the libraries?, There some specific distance, direction or angle for the kinect? Why?
Hi David -- Ubi Displays does not use OpenNI or OpenCV libraries, just the Kinect SDK 1.6 and .NET. If the "Like" example works but the others don't, make sure to download the "Touch Fix" from the google code page. No specific distance or angle, but try to keep within 1.4m for best results. :)
I am getting a visual response on touch, but no actual interaction with websites.
it is simply awesome...i want to use this for science exhibition....can u help me?
Hi John I downloaded this toolkit and installed it but when I run it only the "like" example works and the others don't . you said download the " touch fix" from the google code page but I didn't find it . can you show me where is the link. and also is it possible that an other problem would have existed.
mona mousavi it was a localisation issue with the decimal point - you can change PC language to English to fix if you can't get hold of the touch fix
Hi,can i use Kinect v2 ?
The error is related to European number formats. In German, "34,32" = English "34.32". If you shoot me an email, I will send you an updated version. I've not updated the installer on the Google Code site yet. :)
Could this be used with a tv?
Does it work with Kinect for windows and sdk 1.7?
I've only bought the device to use as a touch screen...
Thanks!
Will this work with the new Kinect?
Have u tried it? Because I am also interested in using this toolkit with the new Kinect
will this work with a leap sensor?
Everything works fine but can't drag and drop html files onto the surface. Does not let me drag ang drop. Nothing happens. Help!
Try going into the advanced options for each surface and setting the URL with the buttons. It might be a problem with drag/drop.
@@_JohnHardy did that too. Just dsnt load the displays. I'm on win 10, anything to do with that?
@@SankeerthReddy we use it in win 10 at the moment so I don't think it's that. You could try pasting a few different file paths, e.g. file:// or testing out a webpage online e.g. to see if they work?
@@_JohnHardy Will send a screen recording of step by step procedure followed, can you please help? The support page is down, can you point to your email address?
Also unable to get rid of the red banding what ever I do. Tried the shift key as well.
its not letting me touch anthing on the wall please help :(
Can i use it without a screen? like say I want to press "snooze" or "play/pause" I just hit the wall.
Yea, absolutely :) Try adapting the "like button" example that comes with the toolkit. Pop over to highwire-dtc.com/ubidisplays/community if you would like help setting this up.
Thanks! I got it working within notime, I made a little blue tape on my wall that tells me where to hit :D
Raritize Awesome! Do you have a video to share?
how abt osx??
Awesome! Please send me some pics!
can I use swf files instead of html?
you can put a SWF file inside an HTML page but touch will probably not work
Thank you!
THX.. Send you a eMail...
Hello John.
