Kinect interactive music visuals: boom boom = shake the room

[@RichardEnglandUK]

It uses OpenFrameworks, with the following addons: ofxKinect (gets the Kinect point cloud data) MSAPhysics - controls the particle physics, and enables physics interaction with the kinect data (though most of my kicks miss the particles, they are interactive and will bounce off the scenery/me) I take the sound feed from the mic sound object, get the sound spectrum and apply it to the kinect data to produce the lines.

@melroy89 the sensor reads depth in 3d, the rotation is done once the points are loaded into the computer. It's purely a virtual/software camera pan :P

ive seen so many amazing things using kinect but this is up there, now i just need a download

[@RichardEnglandUK]

Yes, I've done this at a few gigs and club events already. Projecting's easy. You'd need a video mixing desk if you want to mix into other visuals though. This video was also recorded live by the way with the audio being picked up through the mic.

This is one of the best things I've ever seen, ever :D

[@MaJacksonx2]

This is sweet, I am trying to learn about this kind of technology but I come from a art background - no experience in code or anything BUT stuff like this makes me want to keep on trying! Inspiring, to say the least.

[@csselement]

dude this is awesome.

[@kelpo_boi]

awesome, congrats

[@FrankyEnergy]

hi! :) this video is really amazing! Please can you give me some help for setting the program for doing that? I have already downloaded the kinect SDK for microsoft windows 7 :)

[@grantprice9923]

this is awesome.

[@onebadbug]

Hi Richard, this is awesome. Is there any chance you would have the library somewhere to share? ... I'm just trying to learn how the process works & so far I'm getting generally nowhere and would love to see how something that's working actually works to reference against & help learn.

[@scottomel]

Very nice! Any chance of seeing the code for this? :)

[@RichardEnglandUK]

I was using OpenFrameworks, which is a bunch of open source libraries for creative coding. There are addons available to make it work with the KinectSDK. Try a Google search for ofxKinectNui for example

[@5VDC]

Good work mate !

[@trianglesandmusic]

would there be a way to project that live? SO lets say your doing a dj gig (which i am) and i got xbox kinect and a projector and i want to project that information onto me live( also reacting to the music live)... I LOVE THAT IDEA!

[@TheCartographer89]

You should project two more planes of light so that each plane, x, y, and z have a different corresponding color and depending on your orientation you'd see different colors.

[@RichardEnglandUK]

Hi, this uses OpenFrameworks libraries and would run on both Windows and OSX.

[@LittleGirls]

love it, please share to us lesser computer literate, im a studying artist, and i want to start doing stuff with kinect, great ideas only cant make them happen.

[@comfil]

good idea!)

[@zdsrtgnzetmyet]

shitting brilliant mate

[@troy.the.editor]

How do I do this?

[@FrankyEnergy]

Thanks mate :)

[@Brom24]

How is the camera rotating?

[@ProPlumbing]

Reminds me a a salvia trip

[@enunna]

Can you share the source for fellow kinect hackers to play with?

[@OfficialRob3]

I couldnt figure out how to work the sdk on my mac any help?

[@petemk1966]

wish my bedroom looked like that!!

[@sargecasey28]

where can i download this?

[@sc7597]

genius

[@spam_sampler]

Y hace more of this?

[@andmaliang]

kooooool idea

[@vincentnaples7772]

any more info on how to do this myself? I have a kinect, and am just getting into OpenFrameworks and QC...

[@DavidWallaceHaskins]

Ever figure this out?

[@pksrapture1]

oyes sabes como conectar el nuevo kinect al mac

[@simon12332]

Imagine if we could put this in glasses and wear them to clubs!!!!!!!

[@artistinstinct]

LIVE CONCERT PROJECTION CAN MAKE THIS BECOME A SIT-SPECIFIC REALITY! >!

[@PerceePeeonya]

you fooking geek lol love it

[@LittleGirls]

man, just messaging you hear to inform you i messaged you with the inbox system, hope to here from you soon, thanks.
