Armin Ambühl, Student an der ETH Zürich, hat für seine Bachelor-Arbeit ein System entwickelt, mit dem er via Kinect und einer Kamera an der Decke diesen Quadrocopter kontrollieren kann. Mit dem rechten Arm lenkt er ihn in die gewünschte Richtung, wenn er den linken Arm hochhebt, fliegt der Bot einen Looping. Dabei ist der Pilot immer durch eine “Flugverbotszone” geschützt.

Being in the game for over a decade now and one of the first to work with Ventuz we have gathered a lot of ready to use material over time. After reviewing the data on our server we decided that some of the goodies bear too many memories and hours of hard work to let them spend the rest of their days on our hard drives in solitude. So we took them off the shelf, polished them, and made them available to you. We want to help you to save time with the tedious work of modeling, texture baking and whatever else is necessary to make things shine and invite you to browse through our constantly growing archive. We hope you find something useful for your project and your success, and that you can focus on what’s really important – your creativity!
The first Beta and therefore trial version of the shop will go online shortly. We will inform you accordingly and ask you to help us make this shop a success by trying it out and telling us what we can correct or make beter for you to really benefit from the shop.
In the beginning we will only have the option of paying via PayPal. Payment via credit card will follow soon, though,
Thanks in advance for your help and find below some examples of what can be found in the shop and what great opportunities this offer you. We will add new items to the shop continuously so this is only the beginning 
You will have a wide variety of elements to choose from. Up until now we have gathered more than 100 different scenes and objects such as 3D Environments, Icons, Textures, even a Ventuz Remote App and cool Ventuz Wallpapers to download for free.
Plus – there is a lot more to come!
The BEST thing for you is that you can find even readily programmed Ventuz scenes that you can download and use and ammend as you like for your own purposes. Here is one example of an interactive Memory Game. You can change CI, logos and images on the Memory Cards and sell this custom made game to your clients. We have made the experience that this little game is an absolute people magnet on exhibitions etc.
Everybody wants to receive feedback from friends about their hard work, but sometimes we also need opinions coming from complete strangers, maybe some rough critiques about aspects we might have overlooked. This way we could get some ideas on how to upgrade the work. Here are 10 excellent feedback services you should start using right now.
