Shadow Puppets 2.0 — With Kinect

Published on January 01, 0001 by Chef Mia

This cool demonstration by Design I/O, which produces “interactive installations” shows the Kinect being used to

project animated hand puppets that respond to the user’s movements. Design I/O built it in a day using open-source Kinect drivers.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Kinect’s software recognizes not only the X and Y axes of [[link]] your arm’s position but also its Z axis, which means that [[link]] the puppet could turn [[link]] and face the viewer, I/O Design notes. You can see it rummy wealth

was programmed to recognize hand positions and deliver a squawk when the puppeteer opened the cartoon-bird’s beak. “We can do stuff when another person touches the projection, or is near – i.e. have the birds react, stare, etc,” the team notes in comments on the video. “For the simple silhouette isolation you are right, the Kinect just makes it super easy – but for what we have in mind there will be a lot of fun stuff we can add rummy win

using the device.” As a proof-of-concept built in a single day, not bad at all. And it speaks to the potential for independent development on this new platform. Interactive Puppet Prototype with Xbox Kinect on Vimeo [I/O Design, thanks TheAznOne]
