Xbox Kinect Sensor: Research, Software, Initial Steps and Working




Above are videos I was recommended to look at by an interactive design student. I became aware that I needed to install and use a software called 'Processing' to get the Kinect to work. I also needed to learn what code to put into processing; 

A website that shows code examples. http://shiffman.net/p5/kinect/ 

Further research took me to youtube videos by other artists using this Processing software, of interactive art installations, and below is something like what I want to achieve:



The above art installation cited a book in the description which I found useful, Greg Borenstein author of "Making Things See". 

    
Reflections so far:

This is the most difficult thing i've ever done, after hours I still cannot get the Kinect to work on the computer:

Further research:
Modul8

  • After talking to a student from Interactive design, he advised me to download a software called modul8 and try using the kinect with that. 
  • Further research online and on youtube suggests you can link your kinect sensor with modulate and control it.
