I've been developing an augmented reality application at Fraunhofer, CSE (Center for Sustainable Energy) for the iPad. It will be released as an enterprise application as part of their Building Technology Showcase that will be opening in their new "Living Lab" building at 5 Channel Center, Boston this spring. The application uses augmented reality to show various building and energy technologies that are part of the building's infrastructure.

Attended the May 3rd B.U.G. (Boston Unity Group) meeting. Presented a 5 minute demo of the interface between the Kinect and Unity (Unity Wrapper) for real-time control of game characters in Unity. Showed an example project in Unity controlling a game object using the Unity Wrapper and also some demo game examples and Kinect/MotionBuilder interface/motion capture with Kinect/Mobu after the main presentation. This was for Great Eastern Technology who were hosting the meeting and the great after meeting get together at the CBC.
