Kinect

[justpig]

Hello,
I am not sure if this is something you would work on. Just wondered if there is any way to get kinect working with PC games.

This guy is using Kinect on the PC...

I really haven't ever had a chance to look into Kinect since I don't have one. If you had it working like that guy in the video, then I would be interested to ask you some questions about it to figure out how it could theoretically work in PGP.

Use Kinect as a head tracker without headgear.

Use Kinect to map a gun/shotgun, as in

http://www.instructables.com/id/Usin...ouse-Of-The-D/

The program can be used to recognize a shotgun reloader movement.

If you modify a toy gun, and insert RGB LED in the gun barrel.
The light color of the RGB LED can be used as triggers. red = button_1, blue = button_2 etc.
this is easier then detect finger triggering.

Cool! I'll check it out... but I can't say when this might possibly be available in Pinnacle.

Any update on Kinect support in PGP?

[Pinnacle [Rob]]

There is nothing new on this front, all development time is tied up in other areas.
