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 →

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 →
