Thr 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.

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

openkinect.org Drivers, Installation
pix_freenect for Pd (binaries work without any compiling)
fux_kinect Object for Pd
ofxKinect openFramworks Kinect integration

Skeleton data

OpenNI
Pd-LA Install Kinect on OS X
install openni kinect drivers and NITE on OS X 10.6 gentoo Linux
OSCeleton takes kinect skeleton data from the OpenNI framework and spits out the coordinates of the skeleton's joints via OSC messages. These can can then be used on your language / framework of choice.
skeleton data Linux, osceleton, OpenNI, Pd
skeleton data OS X, macports, openNi, Max/MSP (or Pd)
skeleton data in Quartz Composer via Max/MSP
