The Microsoft® XBOX 360 Kinect is a motion controller. It projects a pattern with infrared light and calculates a depth image using a camera. It also has a color camera and four microphones. The Y axis of the sensor is remote controllable with an in-build motor. The color of the LED is settable by software as well.

Skeleton data

Running depth image and skeleton data on workstation Rafael

Change user of the computer to admin (Apple menu: logout user/User abmelden). Make sure Kinect is connected.

Depth image in Pd

  1. open Pd
  2. open pix_freenect-help.pd in Folder kinect on harddrive Rafael Data RAID
  3. open gemwin and activate the accel toggle

Skeleton Data in Pd

  1. open the terminal and Pd
  2. in the terminal type: cd /Volumes/Rafael\ Data\ RAID/kinect/Sensebloom-OSCeleton OR: type: cd (+ space) and drag the folder Sensebloom-OSCeleton from Folder kinect on harddrive Rafael Data RAID into the terminal window
  3. Enter. Type ./osceleton (optional: If you want to change the port add: "-p" and the port number. If you want to see the picture the Kinect is tracking add: "-w"), then press enter again.
  4. Because OSCeleton has some hiccups i recommend adding a "while true" loop to make sure it starts again when a problem appears. Makes the command: "while true; do ./osceleton; done"
  5. open OSCeleton.pd from Folder pd-skeleton in Folder kinect on harddrive Rafael Data RAID with Pd
