Learn how to push the limits of Kinect, Microsoft’s motion controller in this DIY workshop. Discussion includes installing and running the OpenNI API as well as OpenKinect, creating generative visuals that can be tracked by the Kinect, and interacting with “virtual” interface elements (think Minority Report). This intro workshop is designed to get new users up and running with OpenNI, OpenKinect, and Processing so that they can begin hacking, prototyping and experimenting with the tools it provides.
