How much of what Kinect does is done in hardware, and how much of the vision solve is done in software? the "drivers" might be a huge undertaking if it just gives you the raw input from the cameras.
- uxp 16y agoIf my understanding of the device is marginally accurate, I understand it offloads almost all of the processing to the 360. So, I would imagine the raw data coming out of it is like getting raw input from 64 mice at the same time. If anything is done directly on the device, it is probably "stabilization", like muting the background and focusing on a central moving object, but actual tracking and number crunching is done off of it. Here's a video of a guy looking at his room with IR goggles. This observation makes me think that there is a Lot of data to be crunched to get an accurate use of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7nRKU0nFxA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7nRKU0nFxA
