That’s the same year I exhibited the first time, and agree it might have been the pinnacle as an event for makers and hackers before it went corporate. I remember being disconcerted that the two person startup in the booth diagonal from mine was showing a closed source project, because it felt so out of place (they are now a billion dollar publicly traded company).

It was the other booth doing interesting things with a Kinect: Matterport.

Mine was this (it did not become a billion dollar company): https://makezine.com/article/digital-fabrication/3d-printing...

Funny timing for this convo. Matterport just laid off 30% of their staff today. https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/matterport-tech-layoffs-...

You rock! What’s your perspective on the Kinect now? What are you working on these days?
