yeah, that's why it's difficult to decide what to use! I definitely need the depth information, as a kung fu form is moving in the space too; on the other side, kinect is probabily too slow. The pointgrey cameras or the one of philips sound really good, that's a pity that I loose the depth information. The sensor and software of Primesense could another possible solution: http://www.primesense.com/ Thanks for answering _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
