The Microsoft® XBOX 360 Kinect is a motion controller. It projects a pattern with infrared light and calculates a depth image using a camera. It also has a color camera and four microphones. The Y axis of the sensor is remote controllable with an in-build motor. The color of the LED is settable by software as well.

About

Software

Apps (ready to run)

  • Cocoa freenect App (OS X) by Robert Pointon
  • TUIO Kinect lets you define a depth range where multiple blobs can be detected. No actual depth information can be extracted.

Frameworks and Libraries

Depth image

Skeleton data

Running depth image and skeleton data on workstation Rafael

change user of the computer to admin (Apple Menu: logout user/User abmelden). Make sure Kinect is connected.

Depth image in Pd

  1. open Pd
  2. open pix_freenect-help.pd in Folder kinect on harddrive Rafael Data RAID
  3. open gemwin and activate the accel toggle

Skeleton Data in Pd

  1. open the terminal and Pd
  2. in the terminal type: cd /Volumes/Rafael\ Data\ RAID/kinect/Sensebloom-OSCeleton OR: type: cd and drag the folder Sensebloom-OSCeleton in Folder kinect on harddrive Rafael Data RAID in the terminal
  3. Enter. type ./osceleton, then press Enter again
  4. open OSCeleton.pd from Folder pd-skeleton in Folder kinect on harddrive Rafael Data RAID with Pd
