Re: [osg-users] [ANN] MS Kinect - official drivers available
Hi, I came across an OpenNI middleware called FAAST (Flexible Action and Articulated Skeleton Toolkit) which includes a custom VRPN server to stream the user's skeleton over a network (wich can be integrated into an osg application using osgVRPN nodekit). It also emulate keyboard and mouse input triggered by body posture and specific gestures. Currently available for Windows only. Source code and linux port to be published in the near future. I did not try it (yet), just wanted to share it. http://projects.ict.usc.edu/mxr/faast/ Mourad ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org

I think Willow Garage (the guys behind OpenCV) are more relevant there.

Re: [osg-users] [ANN] MS Kinect - official drivers available
I've used the OpenNI framework and it doesn't work with the Kinect out of the box. The reason for that is that OpenNI targets PrimeSense's reference platform, not the Kinect, which is a product based on it and not actually produced by PrimeSence, as far as I know. However, some people have already modified the drivers to recognise the Kinect and use it with OpenNI [1]. To use it, first install that modified driver and then the normal OpenNI. The sample applications of OpenNI then recognise the Kinect. PrimeSense also distribute NITE, which is a closed source package that extends OpenNI with a pretty good skeleton tracker and a few other nice things. Christian.

Re: [osg-users] [ANN] MS Kinect - official drivers available
I have two questions regarding the kinect: 1) what is the shortest distance that you can place yourself (or objects) in front of the Kinect and get good readings? 2) is the IR beam safe to the eyes when placing your face in front of the sensor at short distance? I am worried about hurting the retina. I was thinking to place the Kinect on top of the monitor to do some gesture based control of our OSG application, but I'd like to know about its limitations before actually purchasing one.

The case might be different for other applications. 2) is the IR beam safe to the eyes when placing your face in front of the sensor at short distance? I am worried about hurting the retina. I think it is safe, as it's a consumer product and has AFAIK no laser inside. IR can damage your eyes just as well, although not as instantaneously. But since you can't see the beam your pupil doesn't contract and there's a lot more energy entering the eye ball. But that's more of a concern for proper IR lights that put out a non-trivial amount of energy. I'd think the IR on something like the Kinect is more like the IR on a remote control. Hm, that does sound oddly familiar: we tried to use IR light combined with a camera to determine objects in the foreground from the background in a project once... is that what MS is doing? (We gave that up because of the above-mentioned potential damage to the eyes from the IR light.)
