Esteban and Ben have been working to get ZigFu+Kinect+Unity to “see” six players, and to be able to measure changes in the width, height, and depth dimensions of each player. This to be able to interpret gestures for each of the players. The challenge is that most gestural interpreters rely on skeleton detection and the ZigFu+Kinect combination can only detect… Read more →

He deployed builds of the FPS_sample_2013_02_21.unitypackage by Darrel Cusey, found by Esteban and Ben on Gamasutra (http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/DarrelCusey/20130221/187128/Unity_Networking_Sample_Using_One_NetworkView.php).

Yesterday (July 08, 2013) we challenged ourself to get a multi-computer scene in Unity up and running as quickly as possible, preferably by the end of our workday.

Today we began to create a prototyping environment. This entailed grabbing a CPU (Mac Mini), a short throw projector, a Kinect for PC sensor, and downloading the free version of Unity 3D, OpenNI, NiTE, Sensor Kinect, and Zigfu plugins. After tinkering with installations for about an hour we were able to achieve skeleton recognition and full body gestural interface. Read more →
