Release date for Kinect v2 apps and new pricing structure
After many months of development and beta testing the time has come for an official announcement.
November 1st will be the release date of the new Brekel Pro Pointcloud 2 and Pro Body 2 applications.
Both have been rewritten from the ground up specifically for the new Kinect for Windows v2 sensor and make use of its boost in data fidelity & quality.
Pricing for the v2 applications will be $139
Existing v1 license owners will be eligible for a personal discount of 30%
The v1 applications will be lowered in price to $79, effective immediately.
Multi Kinect v2
Some screenshot of Multi-Kinectv2 Calibrator pre-alpha that we developed at & for the Microsoft Hackathon in Amsterdam.
Showing 3 sensors (more if you have more sensors & machines) calibrated in less than a second.
Unfortunately we couldn’t port our C++ skeletal streaming into Unity C# and finish a game concept in time, but still had lotsa fun!!
Note this is highly experimental internal pre-alpha code and not available for public testing as of yet.
However my intention is to develop this further into an add-on module for the Brekel apps for Kinect v2 in the future.
Brekel Pro Hands released
First of all a big thanks to all beta testers trying it out in the last few months and providing feedback.
Brekel Pro Hands is now available in the online shop for $79.
With Trial versions and example data available from the public downloads page.
Drop me a mail if you want a full evaluation license including network streaming.

Sweetie for Terres des Hommes
Finally I can announce a project I worked on last year, the “Sweetie” campaign for Terres des Hommes.
Sweetie is a completely virtual girl, driven in realtime by an operator, that can go into public chat rooms and interact with predators of Webcam Child Sex Tourism.
In two months we caught in the act and identified 1,000 predators from 71 countries. Since then there have been several convictions in several different countries.
Governments were urged to act after the world witnessed us handing over our short movie, research findings, and the 1,000 names to Interpol.
