Kinect Open Source Programming Secrets
Kinect Open Source Programming Secrets (KOPS) is the only book that explains the official Java wrappers for OpenNI and NITE. (If you want installation instructions, scroll down this page a little.) The main drawback of using the PrimeSense Java wrappers is their lack of documentation. As I explain in chapter 1, I had to decompile the libraries' JAR files, and work out the correspondences between the Java source and the somewhat better documented C++ OpenNI/NITE APIs. This is why including "secrets" in the book's title isn't too excessive :). This book covers programming topics not found elsewhere. Early (sometimes very early) draft versions of KOPS's chapters can be downloaded from here (see the links below). If you're looking for Killer Game Programming in Java then it's here. What this Book is Not About I'm concentrating on the Kinect without including chapters explaining OOP concepts such as classes, objects, and inheritance. Dr.

Kinect & HTML5 using WebSockets and Canvas - Vangos Pterneas blog
Kinect defined Natural User Interaction. HTML5 redefined the Web. Currenty, there are various tutorials describing how to interact with a Kinect sensor using Windows Forms or WPF for the user interface. But what about using a web interface for handling Kinect data? Trying to combine those two hot, cutting-edge technologies, I came up with a pretty and open-source solution, which I am going to describe in this blog post. I am going to use the official Kinect SDK for my demo, but same principles apply to OpenNI SDK, too. Download source code and binaries Prerequisites Results The project consists of two sub-projects: A server-side application which uses Kinect SDK and a client-side web page displaying the skeleton joints on an HTML5 canvas. Client application: Server application: Tutorial Here is, step by step, a way to achieve the above functionality: Step 1: Server application Considering the data transmission, I highly recommend the use of Fleck. Step 2: Client application Time for HTML5 bits!
Interactive Media Division
Throughout the course of my degree progress, one debate raised our very first class meeting of our first year was the concept of traditional authorial narrative vs. emergent narrative. Traditional authorial narrative is what we’ve come to know as our film-based non-interactive media, whereas emergent narrative is procedurally generated by way of a designed system. As I head towards the end of my second year, it’s less of a balanced argument— traditional narrative in games (Ludus, as named by Roger Callois in Man, Play and Games,) seem to be relying on their predecessors as a clutch, while systemic narrative (Paidia) is beginning to show the uniqueness of the new medium that we’re witnessing mature before our eyes. Now as more and more games are transitioning to paidia-based mechanics, traditional narrative in gameplay might start to be viewed as a skeuomorphic artifact from a pre-interactive era. This actually has to do with the concept of “free will”.
