TSPS is a cross-platform Toolkit for Sensing People in Spaces. It is an open-source tool for creating interactive applications based on natural user interaction. It wraps computer vision algorithms into a simple, easy-to-use interface. TSPS uses a client-server model, with the TSPS application acting as the server. The app reads from an Input (camera, movie file, etc), runs computer vision… Read more →

Ghost via Creative Applications uses OpenNI, Open Frameworks, Open Sound Control, and bespoke code to recognize, capture, remember and re-present viewers as ghosts in a snowy landscape. When a visitor is detected, the camera moves towards them, choosing from a set of close up camera positions. If no visitors interact with the piece, the camera switches into wide shots of… Read more →

by  on  in Rafael Fajardo, research, resources, SWEAT 3.0, Work In Progress

there are several suggestions at the link below. GabeM: I’m looking for some general guidance on what I would need to connect these three technologies: Kinect, openFrameworks, Unity. The idea is that the Kinect will capture visual data, an openFrameworks app will process that information and send usable data to a Unity game. The user could jump in real life… Read more →

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 →
