LCD Temperature Project
The goal of this project was to test out the temperature sensor and LCD screen for a larger long term project. It involves using the DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor…
Read MoreArduino and Kinect Communication
Processing can directly talk with a serial port. Two sections of code are shown here. The first will be the code for processing to talk to the Arduino. The second…
Read MoreRGB Camera and Tracking
This program will track a user and take their outline and paste it onto any background you want. The setup method includes where you need to add the name of…
Read MoreMultiple Hand Tracking
This program uses the depth sensors to track multiple hands. SimpleOpenNI version 1.96 allows for easy multiple hand tracking compared to older versions. This program will display the vector coordinates…
Read MoreAdvanced Kinect Depth Programming
This program uses the depth and RGB sensors together to create a 3D color image. You can use the arrow keys to move the image around. The vectorShading variable controls…
Read MoreKinect Skeleton Tracking
This program uses the depth sensors to track multiple users. It will display the skeleton structure on a tracked user. The “confidence level” is a number between 0 and 1…
Read MoreKinect Joint Tracking
This program is similar to the basic skeleton tracking but also extracts position datas is he. This program will display the angle of all 4 major joints in your body…
Read MoreUser Center of Mass Tracking
This program uses the depth sensors to track the center of gravity of tracked users. It will display a circle on the user’s center of gravity and display each tracked…
Read MoreAccessing the Kinect Sensors
This will explore how to use the sensors on the kinect. You cannot use the IR and depth sensors at the same time but you can use the RGB camera…
Read MoreKinect Technology and Powering
I recommend reading the wikipedia article part of how the kinect’s technology works and its limitations. The SimpleOpenNI library for processing can be found here. This gives instructions on how…
