i’ve joint the openKinect project initialized by theo, memo (openframeworks forum) at 2010 nov.

this device (xBox kinect sensor) is superb, it got an IR beam generator enabling the depth-camera to read the IR reflection

(so it works perfectly indoor in day time or in complete darkness),

and it got a normal web cam for more video-programming manipulation (like face detection etc)

 

this project is so exciting, it is another level of computer vision to me.

it just opened up unlimited possibilities in interactive installations !

 

what to do next ? in order to make it applicable to interactive installation,

it has to be able to do some data things

- limbs motion detection

- incorporate openCV face detection

- dynamic range human-shape recognition

- hand / finger motion recognition

- sync the 2 cams as well as possible

Done
