Orchestr8 / AlchemyAPI Kinect 3d Social Media Visualization Demo

A simple demo application from Orchestr8 (AlchemyAPI) that leverages the MS Kinect to manipulate 3d visualizations of social media data. The application tracks 3d motion of a person’s hand, using it as a virtual mouse cursor. Social media data mined from tens of millions of news articles and blog posts over a period of 1+ month, using natural language processing algorithms to analyze article/blog contents, identify named entities and trends, and track momentum over time. www.alchemyapi.com used for social media analysis. This is a “20% time project” from company engineers done for fun. We’ll be posting another video soon that shows control of multiple screens, analytics dashboards, etc.
