Kinect2 - Player Position Without Skeleton

Hey guys,

i try to track simple player position (x-coordinates) with the Kinect 2 but without using the skeleton. Is it possible to use the Player Node to just track up to 6 People positions? Or some other Blob Tracking?

Kinect Hitbox maybe the simple solution, but i want some more precise tracking for multiple people but just on the x-axis.

Any examples out there?

Thanks!
