Kinect for Windows in Processing 4

By bryan | Published: 2012/08/29

This is the new version of the Kinect for Processing library using the Kinect for Windows 1.5 SDK. In this version, I only implement the skeleton tracking, without the previous RGB image and depth image yet. For all the field, method and constant names, I try to use the same ones as in the SDK.

Telling 32-bit or 64-bit in Java

By bryan | Published: 2012/08/27

The tracking state is not implemented yet. I use the z-depth value to indicate if that joint is validly tracked or […]

After I download the file from the GridFlow website, I unzip it into the gridflow-9.13 folder. To install, I copy the inside gridflow folder to the following location: /Library/Pd/ […]

After the first post of the Kinect for Windows library, this is the second version of the Kinect for Windows in Processing. I modified the pixels array to contain only the colour pixels of players. The rest is painted green as background. In this version, I align the colour and depth pixels in one output […]
