[…] week was getting the Kinect working with the OSCeleton library thanks to Greg Bornstein’s excellent tutorial. Here’s the first sketch once I had all the libraries and ports correctly […]

Hello
i have just started using proccesing and kinect, i can run most of the examples with kinect and OSCeleton, but i cant compile Stickmanetic , first it said cant find ‘edgechaindef’ i downloaded different versions and jbox2d and placed them in the libraries, now i get “the function createshape(edgechaindef) does not exist ”
i think im not placing the jbox2d in the right place! or maybe im nit using the right version!!
can you please tell me what am i doing wrong?!!! i dont seem to find any help online either!!!
thaaaanks

I packaged up all of the OpenNI/Primesense and libfreenect stuff for Fink. I’ve got the Fink packages to the point where they work for me by just installing them, so I’m looking for testers. This is all that should be needed to install everything to run NiViewer:

fink configure (then turn on the 'unstable' branch) fink install openni-sensor-avin2-sensorkinect primesense-nite

libfreenect also works this way:

fink install libfreenect
Fink/unstable includes libusb 1.0.9-rc3. Fink/stable has 1.0.8 without patches, so won’t work. Once we have tested libusb 1.0.9-rc3, we’ll move it to stable.

Anyone using NI Mate? Is the syntax for the joint data the same as OSCeleton?

I m sorry the actual error says “the function getScreenPros(body) does not exist”.

Hi
When I try to run stickmanetic.pde on processing I get this error
“Vec2 pos = box2d.getScreenPos(body);” Can some one please explain me what I m doing wrong. Thanks in advance.

I would like some help with this please. Does anyone have any source or information on the accuracy of the joint coordinates obtained by the Kinect Sensor? For example, whether the x and y coordinates have an error of +/- 0.05m and the z coordinate an error of +/- 0.07m (Just random values I put to help explain what I am looking for). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi Ray, I got the same problem I can’t track two users at the same time, my experiments are for comparing movements between two different users at the same time in a learning process. Did you solve that issue?.

Hi I am having this weird problem when I try to run MotionCapture3D through processing. The program execution loop gets stuck at line ;

“Hashtable skels = new Hashtable();”

and it throws out “semi colon missing” exception ..

I wonder if you might have any ideas ?

Thanx in advance

Hello Greg, everyone,
Amazing project!
I was trying to get the sets of lengths of all joint-to-joint of the skeleton, and also the approximate measurements of the actual body-mass around key sections of such skeleton. If a BMI body-mass-index could be calculated from this, it would be fantastic. What do you think it is the best way to approach this?
Are there any libraries/classes/functions that could help me get this kind of data?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Art.
