It provides a new experience that is controlled by the users’ gestures. • The gestures allow you to flip through pages, issues, “star” the current issue, get help, zoom in/out and scroll while zoomed.

  3. Technology Used • Kinect, the Xbox 360 controller is newly used for PC. It contains three sensors: Video, Depth and Audio. • Kinect SDK was released by Microsoft for PC use. • The combination between the Kinect Skeleton frame, the Depth frame, along with the SDK were the tools that facilitated the implementation of K-News presented as C# classes in Visual Studio.
