Weekend at Medialab Prado with Golan Levin's Kinect workshop

We spent last weekend at Medialab Prado enjoying a workshop by Golan Levin.

He explained some of his most renown pieces in an interesting conference. You can watch the video at Medialab Prado site. Golan also showed some of the last creations of the independent community taking advantage of this technology.

The workshop was with OSX, but we managed to make things work with linux too. We wanted to post how to, but someone already did nice tutorials to install the libfreenect library and then to setup Kinect for developing under Ubuntu.
It was a rainy weekend that led us to stay inside and enjoy Madrid's nice food...
