Going to let this project rest for a while, going to start learning for my exams in January.

I just received this video, these are the moves that have to be detectable. I'll know what to do after the exams.

Just did my presentation here is the powerpoint (in dutch). They had the following remarks:

- Don’t use informal language (This refers to a document I had to give, not very important here).
- How are you going to test this? (actual tests)

Did a little 3D modeling this is the result :p.

The head looks fine by me, the cloth = crap. Will try to find a solution for this.
Problems I faced with this cloth:

Somtimes the cloth just stops moving.

Solution: the cloth has something called: random acceleration. This makes sure the cloth is always moving (a little).

The cloth moves slow

There are too much calculation being done.
Solution: make the cloth out of less polygons.

I know for which band I'm going to do the project:
Mental Nomad. Here is a picture of there mascot, they would like to see him instead of "Rainbowman" (the stick figure with the rainbow color in previous post). This is going to be hard I don't know nothing about 3D modeling.

I have to give a presentation on 22 nov. Made this screen capturing for it.

What I did was this:

Found unity electricity.
Made a script, so that I can make game object follow one of my joints.
Voila!

(For screen cap I used Hypercam, it's free. There probably are better program's out there, post them here in the comments)

PS: code will come online soon!

Just found this site. They give a step by step explanation on how to get the windows SDK working with Unity.

(UPDATE (03/03/2012): This site has been updated to a "new" version of the kinect wrapper, here is a link to the old project.)

You can still do the steps they talk about, in the old project. You can also find more info about this on the site of Jeremy, specifically here.

Downloaded everything, this is me in my room, testing out the Kinect SDK.

Just found out who my "assistant" is going to be. (Every bachelor project is given by an assistant from the VUB) Lode Hoste, he is the "Kinect guy" at the VUB and has given me some info:

- Download the Kinect SDK (beta)
- Download the 3D engine Unity
- Combine the two

Project assignment

Just got the good news, I got the "augmented reality during live music performance" project.

I could post the project proposal, but it would only be visible to VUB students.

In short: I need to create some sort of "animation" live on a stage, using the motion sensor Kinect. They gave me a link to this video, as an example.
