Kinect FOR WINDOWS

[Dorosp]

Hi guys,

Did anyone ever use kinect for windows? (not the kinect for xbox which costs 80 pounds but the kinect for windows (200 pounds) which supposedly can track movements in closer range.

I want to use skeletal mapping in a project where half of the person will not be visible. I tried to use the xbox kinect, and the whole of the skeleton gets messed up.

Will the kinect for windows solve this problem? anyone with experience?

Thanks,

D

think SDK plug might need update

@ms

New in the May 2012 SDK Release
Seated mode skeletal tracking
Provides the ability to track users’ upper body (10-joint) and overlook the lower body if not visible or relevant to application. In addition, enables the identification of user when sitting on a chair, couch, or other inanimate object

the fastest way to check is go in sdk examples and see if thay have it there

Thanks for the reply.

So if it is supported by microsoft, does that mean that I will still have to wait till the skeleton node in vvvv gets updated till I can use skeletal tracking yes?
