===== Description =====

XBox Media Center (XBMC) is a popular media center solution that supports remote control through the use of an RPC server. This project is centered around the development of a client-server application that listens to the Kinect and communicates to the XBMC through the current RPC interface. The goal is to have a seamless gesturing system that allows fluid control over the XBMC software in a home theater environment.

===== Goals =====

Below are some of the goals of this project. This list is subject to change.

  * Service software to listen to the Kinect
  * Natural gesturing controls for standard remote control management
  * Plugin system for application communication
  * Plugin to control an XBMC installation via the provided RPC interface
  * Cross-platform support //[ FUTURE ]//
