hi! i think openni should be available for the rpi. and with the asus xtion i read somewhere its's working. i don't know about the kinect openni driver for rpi. without gem there is no ready to use solution for pd yet. but you could build your own openni external, activate the depth- and

Hey Max Matthias, Thanks for your suggestions. Guess I need to keep thinking/digging. I had spotted the Asus but have to presume it will be the same with sunlight as the kinect. Hmmm. The kinect is appealing as my friend already has one but from my reading around it's a way of working

Hey Ryuta, Yes, we'd thought about PIR's. My understanding, and I'd be happy to be proved wrong, is that they are either 'on' or 'off', motion or no-motion. And this case what we'd really like is to be able to detect motion but also depth (3d) so we can measure whether something is moving

Hi again, So after some more research I've come to the conclusion that the ultrasonics aren't going to do what I would like - not a wide enough beam and unnecessary accuracy. Perhaps if I say what I would like 'something' to do, someone may say oh, you want one, two, n of *these*. I have a

if you want it to work outside in sunlight, that's impossible with the kinect. the infrared from the sun is much stronger than the projector of the kinect and will turn the pattern invisible to the infrared camera on the kinect. Am 14.03.2013 um 17:18 schrieb Julian Brooks jbee...@gmail.com:
