Avateering with Kinect V2 – Joint Orientations
For my own learning I wanted to understand the process of using the Kinect V2 to drive the real-time movement of a character made in 3D modelling software. This post is the first part of that learning which is taking…
OPENFRAMEWORKS + KINECT 4 WINDOWS V2 (II)
In my previous post I showed how to get an environment set up with Openframeworks and Kinect V2.0 for Windows Store. I’d like to elaborate on that a little and run through a demo app I recently created. Since these…

Kinect 4 Windows v2 – Custom Gestures in Unity
I have received a few questions recently about detecting Kinect custom gestures in Unity 3D and it seems that there are a few issues with getting this up and running. I have previously posted about Kinect Custom Gestures and also…
Kinecting XAML + Unity
Following on from my previous post where I showed how easy it is to interact with Kinect data inside the unity 3D environment I wondered how I might manipulate 3D game objects using Kinect gestures within a Windows store app.…
Kinect 4 Windows V2 – Unity 3D
After installing the Kinect v2 SDK from here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44561 you can also download the supporting Unity 3D plugins here http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=513177. Note that the plugins require Unity 3D Pro and they expose APIs for Kinect for Windows core functionality, visual gesture…
Openframeworks + Kinect 4 Windows V2
OpenFrameworks I am in the process of reviewing various frameworks for visualising my Kinect windows store apps because prototyping ideas Direct3D is a bit labour intensive. My attention has turned towards Openframeworks. This is the official description: openFrameworks is an…
