whoo-hoo!

...but from a quick look at http://www.derivative.ca/wiki077/index.php?title=Kinect

I can't use the Kinect I bought earlier, I have to sell it off and get one of the new ones?

Of course I'll do it.

muuuu-hahahahahahaha....

Rod.

eek! the things are nearly $300 here in Oz though! r.

Rod have you actually tested to see if xbox kinect doesn't work. I still need to grab one from someone at work to test this but technically we should be able to use the xbox version since most people are not mass distributing projects I'm guessing.

[rodberry]

I'll try to test it with the old one in the next day or so. I'm a bit flat-out right now.

Hi Rod,

have you tested the original kinect?

[malcolm]

The XBOX 360 Kinect will not work. The commercially legal SDK that Microsoft released only works with the Windows verison, sorry.

[rodberry]

time to sell the old kinect then.

I've tested the Kinect in touch, and it's awesome. Especially the skeleton tracking. So easy. I also made an OSC patch that take every info and send them to Max/Msp.

I didn't succeed to do anything with the depth map, but it's fully functional.

Now, i'm trying to import a 3d model and animate it with the kinect. Any advice ?
