Ceiling Mount Kinects | Seespace Labs
So what I wanted was to find some place on the plastic case where I could safely put a screw in. This screw would hold a bracket that fastened the little rig to the ceiling. Tonight, I took apart one of my Kinects to look for a good trepanning location–somewhere I could drill a hole to add a new screw… Read more →

Wide Area Motion Capture with Multiple Kinects | TrackingReality
In this work we developed a wide area tracking system based on consumer hardware such as Microsoft Kinect and Asus Xtion together with available motion capture modules and middleware (OpenNI). We are using multiple depth cameras (Kinects) for human pose tracking in order to increase the captured space. In this video you can see an installation of 3 Kinect depth… Read more →
