The Xtion PRO developer competition takes place online
In order to promote a whole new way to connect to PCs, ASUS has launched a competition for participants to create a new game or application that takes advantage of the new Xtion PRO’s gesture-based controls. The Xtion PRO SDK is also OpenNI-compliant, meaning the platform is available to users with very different levels of programming. In this competition, the programming language to be used is either C ++ or C #.
All games and applications must use ASUS Xtion PRO and meet the following minimum system requirements:
- OS: Windows® XP / Vista / 7
- CPU: Intel® Conroe Core processor or later AMD Athlon ™ 64 AM2 Socket or later
- System memory: 2 GB Video card: Supports DX9.0 or later
- Video memory: 1 GB
- Resolution: 1280 x 720 screen resolution
Categories and usage:
- Games - Sports games, car racing, tutorials, puzzles, etc.
- Multimedia - Applications that use photos, music, or videos stored on your computer.
- Mixed - Any application that demonstrates the applicant's creativity in using Xtion PRO.
In addition to the game or application, participants should also make a short, two-minute video showing the product and how to use it. The competition runs from March 2011, 22 to May 31, XNUMX. The assessment will be based in part on the results of an online popularity vote and in part on the votes of internal ASUS employees, including vice president assistants, product managers and technical executives.
