Xbox 360 & Kinect

Front-end developer: 2010

I came onto Xbox 360 as a front-end developer. I worked with developers and designers to perfect a redesign of the Dashboard in a proprietary program similar to Flash; as you can see above, the red screenshot is what the dashboard looked like prior to our engineering, and the green screen below is the end result. The front-end dev (UI engineer) role handled implementing buttons, animations, loading screens— in addition to the redesign, we also needed to include a hands-free UI because of the Kinect, a motion-controlled camera. The videos below are of the Xbox dashboard which I owned.

The visuals provided here are the final product; because I worked in code and script, my NDA doesn’t allow me to post my work. For more information, please contact me and I’ll be happy to walk through my process.

Below are some examples of the Kinect Hub.
