The Twelve-Foot Network | Seespace Labs
Now I need it to work with six Kinects and three projected screens. Each pair of Kinects needs one “K2Net Node,” which is a computer that converts USB data to Ethernet traffic. The K2Nets feed data into the “Model Server”, which is a computer that keeps a single combined set of data from all six Kinects. Each screen needs one… Read more →
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 →

What is Wide-Area Motion Tracking? | Seespace Labs
Problem #3: USB Won’t Scale Kinects have USB connectors. This is great for plugging a couple of them into a computer, but you run into problems with three or more. I believe it is possible on some platforms now with USB 3.0 to get six or more Kinects plugged into one device, but driver support on Linux seems to be… 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 →
