While article mentions that the Kinect has been used by engineers, scientists and even the military, it has also been very popular in the arts, e.g. for interactive dance pieces or installations, up to this day!
- soylentcola 7y agoI played around with the games for a few months when it came out, but I spent much more time with it hooked up to my computer and experimenting with it in Processing and TouchDesigner, etc. I also loved seeing how people were using it for mo-cap stuff in animation projects. I never got the second one and while I initially thought about getting one of PrimeSense's own depth cams (Carmine I believe it was called), they were bought by Apple who shut down development of their OpenNI middleware. I think it was forked to some degree and still exists but I'd gotten distracted with other projects and demands on time so I haven't kept up. I also bought a dev version of one of Intel's depth cameras, but it had its own issues. Nobody really seemed to be working on them and I couldn't find the time to learn the kind of skills I'd need to hack together my own solutions. I may have to dig that stuff out and see if there have been any interesting developments in the ensuing years.
