Crowd gaming for kids and other playful spirits: Project progress
Found a project attempting some similar things. The creator (Tommy Paaske Hansen) gave up on the OpenCVSharp+Kinect direction in favor of some Sony PS3eye cameras: Also the PS3Eye cameras that I’m using (and the kind people over at codeLaboratories: http://codelaboratories.com/ have spend alot of time doing drivers for), did not work well in the OpenCvSharp port… That is, I was… Read more →
NI Mate real time motion capture and sound control
NI Mate may be helpful. It takes motion and depth sensing data from a Kinect and turns it into MIDI and OpenSC (Open Sound Control) data, which can be quickly passed over a network. NI mate Documentation (last update 25.6.2013) | NI Mate. Read more →

The link points to the forum for OpenFrameworks (oF) where someone has asked a question about bridging a Kinect sensor, OpenFrameworks, and Unity3D. One response points to OpenTSPS, which is mentioned in a later post. Read more →

Andre was able to figure out how to run multiple instances of a Unity game scene build by using a terminal command. 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).

08 Progress Report installation nuance
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. After watching what we hoped would be a helpful tutorial yielded a dead end (proprietary code-base), Ben, Teri and Esteban found a package that worked. We had to create a WiFi LAN… Read more →

03 Progress Journal
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 →
