[HTC EVO 3D] vegaobscura:
I mean, a 2D camera can do depth and motion sensing if you calibrate it properly and SPECIFICALLY (with say, ONE object to focus on like a ball, Playstation Move I'm looking at you).

A 3D camera will offer you the depth, but calibration might offer you problems. Sure it can sense and translate depth, but I think the point of the IR in the Kinect is to take away most of the calibration and calculations necessary from there, as well as increase the accuracy of the translation.

Put another way:

If I move in front of my 2D camera, it sees me get larger and smaller--stuff like that.

If I move in front of a 3D camera, it sees me move on an axis, as it can sense what's also around me--a front and a back, as it were.

If I move in front of a Kinect, not only can it see what's in front and in back of me to sense the depth, but it also knows exactly how many IR lights it's shooting out across the room, the exact distance between each one--and which ones I am violating with my motions.

Surely it is easier to say, "He's blocking these lights, which means he's at point (x,y,z)," than it is to say, "If the table is 5 meters away and is 1.5 meters tall, but it looks like it is x meters tall from this distance, and the man here is approximately 2 meters tall, and he's shrinking and growing by this much--that means he's approximately this far from us and this far from the table...."

In pure logical terms, it seems like there would be a LOT of calculations need to be done if you were to want to use a 3D camera for the ENTIRE of the motion sensing--which would limit the amount of resources available to the rest of your program and...etc.

On a computer, this might not be a problem, given enough resources and given what you aim to achieve. On a console...I remember hearing that the Kinect did use the Xbox SPUs to run calculations and that that DID limit the overall system resources in some way. On a phone? I expect some problems.

Not only with how you might intend to use it, functionally (hold camera so other people could play games? Use it for AR purposes?), but with the resources available to do it with. These are all interesting ideas, but I'm not convinced that a phone is yet up to snuff to do such constant calculation and dynamic calibration on the fly.

But I've been known to be wrong.

...from time to time.
[HTC EVO 3D] neoplise05:
My thought was to eventually be able to run motion sensitive games directly form the Evo 3D in 3D. Put the phone in a central position above or below my tv, connect a compatible controller and play BAD ASS 3D games or semi cool 2D games.

... you know seeing my idea spelled out like this really shows me how farfetched it really is, oh well maybe in 5 years you never know.
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
The kinect also uses some proprietary technology that they own. Well they did once they bought the company who designed it.
[HTC EVO 3D] one_mic_only:
i think this can be done and someone should try it
[HTC EVO 3D] Bukem75:
ten chars!
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Doesn't the kinect also have a infrared beam to tell depth.... I think we are missing that..

Can anyone point me to a version of game that works on 2.3.3 ? I haven't found one that works for 2.3.2 either, even bought it from their site when it was on discount, can't seem to get it to work, always crashes to desktop immediately after starting it up.

Pretty lame.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] refract:
Answering my own question - seems that v.3.1.6 works no probs on Arc that runs 2.3.3. They supplied me the .apk and it seems to have worked out.

Over on engadget, link here ----> http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/11/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-for-atandt-ratted-out-by-its-own-hdmi-dock/

What jumps out at me is the standard four across cap buttons instead of the hard home flanked by a cap.
[Galaxy S II General] stoney73:
phone actually looks liike an infuse.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/05/samsung-infuse-4g-announced-for-atandt-4-5-inch-super-amoled-plus/
[Galaxy S II General] __NBH__:
The power button seems too high up the right side and surely the would keep the home button?
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
+1

I can see them screwing with the menu buttons but it would be difficult and needless to move the power switch.
[Galaxy S II General] krabman:
They did exactly that with the captivate guys.
[Galaxy S II General] jvidia:
I prefer my "original" S2 :p
[Galaxy S II General] krabman:
I would have prefered the four caps in a line but who knows what AT&T will do with it software wise. At any rate I used the word possible for a reason, until hard confirmation this is just somewhat more than rumour but less than fact. I don't see the buttons as proving or disproving anything. AT&T did move the power on the captivate and go to a standard four across as well as the body changes they made so certainly that would imply they might do the same with the S2. In my mind since all the carriers are supposed to be staying closer to form and can utillize the same cases and so on that might make the power harder to move? Not sure on that one.
[Galaxy S II General] M.N.M:
Apparantly it's called the Samsung Attain and is the American AT&T variant on the SG2.
[Galaxy S II General] blue265:
I am so glad I purchased the international version if thats what its going to look like. I prefer the hard home button of 9000 over Captivate just as I do on the i9100 over that thing (if that is going to be what the Attain looks like)

The Captivate was a variant of the i9000 and it too had a power button much higher up than i9000 did.
[Galaxy S II General] zoobzone:
Capacitive touch buttons? I think I prefer my physical home button.

It looks like the lock button is slightly higher placed than the i9100 international version too.
[Galaxy S II General] mattism78:
Sorry, but I agree with the others who have said it's an Infuse. There's no way that AT&T is going to release two identical looking phones that close to each other. Even down to the chrome buttons and location of the power button. Nah, I just think the website lost something in translation.
[Galaxy S II General] mca1490:
Really true..!! , btw I guess the attain would have capacitive butttons..

... but I still prefer the i9100 :D
[Galaxy S II General] bigmout:
I personally prefer the aesthetics of the pictured phone. When I first saw the Infuse, I actually wondered why they didn't use that design for the GS2. Looks they did. Have to say, this makes me want the Attain.
[Galaxy S II General] krabman:
As to the former, maybe, maybe not. As to the latter are you seriously implying that AT&T wouldn't do something that people like us would consider stupid? Keep in mind that all of the US carriers are keeping the physical shape close enough that they can all use the same cases as already reported. That would imply that it is going to look much like our own phones do now in regards to its shape which closely resembles the infuse. IMO while this may or may not be true no one has posted anything which carries much weight one way or the other in regards to debunking it or proving it out.
[Galaxy S II General] bigmout:
An eagle-eyed commenter on Engadget notes that it's two different phones pictured. You can see the power button icon is located in a different place in the first and second pics. And, if you scroll all the way through the Facebook pics, you'll see the SGS2 pictured with the hardware button still intact.

So, mystery solved. It's an Infuse in the first pic, and an Attain/SGS2 in the rest.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Actually, if you look at the Facebook page, there's two different docks. The second one has a SGS2 in it and matches the pictures of the dock that's being sold at Clove because it has volume buttons.

http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150287680707625.375373.201671497624

http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-i9100-desktop-dock

The pic Engadget posted is both a different phone and different dock which doesn't make sense if all the SGS2 variants are supposed to share accessories.

Good lord, here's a pic of the Infuse dock on the AT&T site. It's just like the one Engadget posted. Who knows, maybe the Infuse in the picture was a prototype which is why the power icon's in a different place. You can all go home, nothing to see here. ;)

[Galaxy S II General] Noam23:
The USA version of the SGS2 is indeed much better looking without that awkward button in the middle. These Koreans have no sense of aesthetics... :)
[Galaxy S II General] krabman:
You know what I find interesting, neither of the pictured phones in either dock on the facebook page matches the infuse picture on AT&Ts site. Not sure what to make of that. lol Now I'm really wondering about the authenticity since neither is the infuse and only one can be the attain but two different handsets are shown. It kinda makes the whole thing suspect in my mind.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Thisrobot:
I'm interested in replacing a double din headunit with the galaxy.

Can you post pictures/tips/comments on how you have accomplished this?

Ideally I'd like something that could pass tech inspection for autocross (a type of autoracing).

I did see this and thought it was pretty interesting:

...ugh I have a couple of youtube links, but can't post them until I get my post count up.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] monkeefied:
I was also interested in doing this. I would imagine if you could mount it so that it was recessed/clamped in, that it would pass tech inspection. Though you would prolly have to go through the official rule book for your class and see what exactly they are looking for.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Stu_Gotti:
I was thinking about doing something for my 2011 WRX as well. Although I know it's an iPad, here is something I thought was badazz...

[Galaxy Tab Accessories] RoelZ1982:
Ah, now this thread I like! :-)

I've been thinking about a lot of things to implement my SGT into my car. The only first problem I ran into was.. do I want this thing forever in this car?

Back then I only had it for a wintersports vacation. To navigate and watch movies.

My most wanted version is/was to build it into a lexputer (I own a Lexus IS200).

imageshack.us/photo/my-images/228/lexputer1.jpg

BTW: I'm still looking for this!

But since I couldn't find it AND I didn't really know if I was gonna keep this tablet I decided to build a rack in my own simple way.

imageshack.us/photo/my-images/197/17516817242650946981310.jpg

(don't laugh) ;-)

I adjusted my amp and receiver of my car for now with a fm-modulator (not the best sound quality). Since I cannot find the right cables to connect it directly (i.e. a interface adapter).

I tried to build my own, but I'm still in search for the right connector.

So this is my result.

imageshack.us/photo/my-images/853/17307717401206264459110.jpg

I attached a Brodit holder to my own construction. Et voila.

So my to list:

Get a Lexputer

Get the right interface adapter from SGT to Lexus IS200 stereo

Get a keyboard

Build it all nicely into my dashboard

to mod: soz to adjust my external links. Haven't made to eight replies yet. But I am legit :)
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] lictor4:
don't forget to add something like this to the setup.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-h_J7RDXdw

Here is a great setup that takes advantage of the Tab's "double DIN" size, I'd like my tab to be removable tho( or just buy another....)

The biggest pain it that there is (currently) no connector for the tab that does audio and power(is there?) Maybe hack together a charge cable and component-out cable?
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] whats77inaname:
My setup: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akJAqJL2aPg

If you mount it in the dash where the double din is located, you won't be able to use the camera to record your runs. With the car app I'm using, via the GPS it displays speed, elevation, etc during playback, so it'll help you fine tune your sessions.

Use dailyroads, it's a free app. This is what the screen looks like while filming and playing back:

You'll need one or two of these, as well.

That way you can adjust the volume without having to do it on the Tab, and with a lot more precision. It gets to be a pain in the a$$, believe me, having to reach for the volume control buttons on the Tab. I have 2, one for the sub amp and 1 for the 4 channel, mounted right under my arm rest and they are easily accessible.

The rearview mirror isn't really functional in my vehicle, so I pulled down. That's the add'l piece stuck to the windshield. I'm going to integrate the Tab mount's base to utilize the rearview mirror mount, so that I can pull it if I decide to sell the truck and want to return it to stock.

A keyboard really isn't necessary, IMHO. But I guess it depends on where you mount it. Swype works fine for what you need, and voice command does, as well.

You might also want to pick up one of these:

I hate having cords and crap all over the place, so I have this installed instead so I can power the Tab, my cell, and 1 add'l 12v device w/out having something coming out of the cigarette lighter.

[Galaxy Tab Accessories] whats77inaname:
I got my hands on one of those last week, and after looking at it, you'd be hard-pressed to try and keep that SGT docked in that thing in a vehicle. I think you could make a car mount out of it, though, and it would be successful.

Another thing I can relate using the OEM car dock....the mount has a spring in it that bounces a bit too much. As I revert to making a more permanent mount, the spring will be eliminated from the equation.

One of my main concerns in figuring how to mount it was to make sure that I could successfully utilize the camera. I want to be able to capture video of all the nimrods in traffic with me that don't know how to drive, so the mount location works perfectly. At some point, I'd like to get around to fabbing up an enclosure that will allow me to slide the tab in and out of like this setup:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHVm6WptQvg

but I want it to be a reversible setup so that I by simply replacing the OEM center console/bezel with another, I can revert back to stock w/minimal work.

I see a lot of people mounting iPads in their vehicles, but IMHO, it's a bit LARGE for the front of the car. I think the SGT is the perfect size for what we're trying to accomplish.

[Galaxy Tab Accessories] lictor4:
Ya, mount the back-up cam screen under the dash in front of the Tab's camera ;-)
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] jraygoza:
With the dock is it possible to seperate the hdmi out to rca to split the sound to an amp and the yellow to headrest monitors?

NEVERMIND IT DOESN'T WORK!

I found the hdmi to rca with hdmi cable at amazon.com. I figure with this the tab gets charged and you get the opportunity to run a screen. Here's the link:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002ZUI68G/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/184-0850434-9022311

Oh by the way I found an mini amp with a remote that controls everything fade, bass, fm, treble, and volume. They are super cheap like 40 bucks.

[Galaxy Tab Accessories] lictor4:
Well I got the cable and it does play video, tho it's unwatchable. Maybe the cable has a wire loose but the color is way off and very blurry. I mainly wanted an audio cable with charge so I don't mind too much but still a bit disappointing.

I've been thinking about putting my gtab in my mustang. I'd have to do some fiberglass work but that's not too bad. I'm going to relocate my hvac to a lower din slot and move my headunit to my center armrest.

I want to put a cover on though to hide it, and i can't figure out a good idea for that.

I'll take some pictures of what i'm trying to do this weekend.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] willyam111:
I mounted the SGT in my double DIN by modifying the car dock to fit on a piece of lexan I have filling the double din hole in the dashboard. I then placed an amplifier under my passengers seat to power the unit. I have a write up on what I did on my blog. I am a new to these forums so I can't post a link yet. PM me if you want a link.

However, I recently broke my tab and bought the 7 plus. I am going to modify the tablet so the unit charges and play audio through the dock connector and fits into the holder a little more easily. I will let you know when I get that up.

Audio and Charging Cable

I have ordered two of the cables you guys are talking about with the ability to charge and output audio and video. The cables works but not in a car. The car battery powers the amp and charges the tablet so you have a common ground. This creates a lot of noise in the audio signal when charging the table and trying to play audio.

When the audio is attached via a separate cable in the headphone jack and the charging is done through the adapter in the bottom of the tablet, a ground loop isolator can be added to the audio circuit to reduce the noise. This however does not help when only using one cable.

The way I got around the need for two cables was to add in bluetooth receiver to the amplifier. I still needed to add a ground loop isolator into the bluetooth audio circuit.

My install was pretty easily and looks professional enough for my taste. I just modified the car dock to fit in the double DIN dash in my Mustang. I have also passed tech inspections and autocrosses and a track day at Road Atlanta with the tablet in. So this solution should work.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] bassdroid:
I have mine mounted in the dash and use it solely as my source unit for all music needs. With wireless tethering and Pandora, IHeartRadio and the music apps, there is no reason for a head unit. I gave up cd's years ago.

All i did was use a 3.5 jack to rca wire and ran a pre-amp eq to step up the input signal to 5 volts, The plus to this is with the pre-amp is there are two sets of inputs and it splits the input signal to the front, rear, and subs reallly well.

The only downside, if you call it that, is you will need to install amplifiers to power your speakers, but thats the avenue i was going anyways.

I also purchased a 4 port 12v station like the 3 port above. Hard wired it in to the lighter acc wires. Have three of those usb 2 port plugs to charge all my toys, all hidden under the console for a clean look.

Hello guys,

Just a quick question from me today, I like to use specific Twitter clients nowadays, and I love using TweetDeck on my Mac - however, on my Android [Galaxy S] phone that's currently on Darky's ROM - TweetDeck just doesn't work.

Every single time I open the application it seems to want me to relog back in to my TweetDeck account. I'm getting REALLY annoyed and as such I've swapped over to Seesmic, however, I want to know how to fix it, or if it's unfixable or if anybody's known about this issue or has it, and knows what causes it.

So if anybody has any answers for me it would be MUCH appreciated, thanks in advance.
