kinect tools

Hi there, I'm trying to do a very well known interaction in QC. I want to use the kinect and a simple grid that moves or deforms following the movements of my hands/body. I did it using eMotion but as you know emotion is no very stable and I fell more confident using QC. The main problems is that I do not know what kind of surface/mesh or solid do I have to use and how can I link the X,Y and Z coordinates I got from the kinect to that surface/ mesh.

the first 25 seconds of this video can be very usefull to know what I'm trying to do... just simple horizontal lines that moves/deforms when the hand pass through...thank you for you help

Does anyone have any information on what exactly the acceleration values are based on?

I was assuming that it would be values for general motion sensing of the speed of movement the Kinect perceives based on movement in the x, y and z axis.

I am looking for options that doesn't require firing up OSCeleton, because then I lose the ability to capture the depth image from the Kinect in QC

thanks

(sorry if this is the wrong place for this..please delete if so)

I've been using the kinect for a bunch of tests and it's been working pretty great. I prefer the Kineme plugin to the v002 for now, but it has been crashing a lot on me.

The crashes only seem to happen when I leave the composition on and walk away for a while. If I'm sitting there and working on the comp it typically runs as stable as ever. It crashed as I was typing this and not working on the composition.

I'm trying to identify relevant info to paste here from the console and crash logs, but the crashes always identify the kinecttools plugin as the culprit. Let me know if there is other info I can provide.

I am running a new imac, 4gb ram, 10.6.7, quartz 4, kinecttools 0.3,

Got this error in console which seemed related: 5/4/11 10:45:26 AM [0x0-0xea0ea].com.apple.QuartzComposer.editor[1595] [Stream 70] Expected 1748 data bytes, but got 1908. Dropping...

Hi All,

I'm experimenting with a multiple kinect setup. 2 kinects worked out of the box with the kinect tools but more than that only the first two kinects work and the others won't give any output. They all show up un the hardware profile though.

Is this a limitation of the kinect tools, or the libfreenect drivers?
