This article is about an application called CyberNanny, which I recently wrote to allow me to remotely see a newborn baby at home from anywhere at any time. It’s written in Visual C++ (MFC) and it comprises different technologies such as Kinect and its SDK, Windows Azure, Web services and Office automation via Outlook. The project is hosted on CodePlex (cybernanny.codeplex.com), where you can check out the code or contribute to it.
