The Kinect effect: how Harmonix mastered Dance Central's menus Dance Central has quickly emerged as one of the best-received titles for Microsoft's Kinect. Not only is the game great, but the smaller details like the way the menu system works are also superior to the other current Kinect offerings. Since gesture-based controls are such a new frontier, the developers at Harmonix had a difficult time creating an intuitive control scheme for navigating menus. The solution? Creating lots of prototypes and simply seeing what worked. The major problem for Harmonix was that, aside from that one scene in Minority Report, there weren't any real solid examples that the team could look at for inspiration. The main goal was to create a menu system that didn't make players wish they were using a controller instead. Another early prototype featured a virtual scroll wheel, something along the lines of the big wheel from The Price Is Right. Things went on like this for around two months. All that, just to create a menu.

OpenNI | The standard framework for 3D sensing An open source implementation of KinectFusion - Point Cloud Library Armadillo | John McCaffery Armadillo is Virtual World client aimed at supporting immersive interactions. It aims to support hands free input (via the Kinect or other NUI devices) and immersive output (via multiple screens and fisheye projection). It’s purpose is to serve as a research platform for experimenting with immersive technology and also as a practical platform to be used by educators, museum curators or anyone else wishing to explore immersive interaction in Virtual Worlds. The first prototype of Armadillo has been built.

kinect_calibration/technical Description: Technical aspects of the Kinect device and its calibration Tutorial Level: ADVANCED Authors: Kurt Konolige, Patrick Mihelich Imager and projector placement The Kinect device has two cameras and one laser-based IR projector. This image is provided by iFixit. All the calibrations done below are based on IR and RGB images of chessboard patterns, using OpenCV's calibration routines. Depth calculation The IR camera and the IR projector form a stereo pair with a baseline of approximately 7.5 cm. Depth is calculated by triangulation against a known pattern from the projector. Disparity to depth relationship For a normal stereo system, the cameras are calibrated so that the rectified images are parallel and have corresponding horizontal lines. z = b*f / d, where z is the depth (in meters), b is the horizontal baseline between the cameras (in meters), f is the (common) focal length of the cameras (in pixels), and d is the disparity (in pixels). d = 1/8 * (doff - kd), to find b and doff.
