Ogre::Kinect released !

[dddExperiments]

I just like to present my latest experiment:



This demo is a ripp-off the Kinect-v11 demo made by Zephod.
In fact I’ve designed a new Ogre::Kinect library that provide Kinect connection through Zephod library.
Then I’ve replace the Zephod OpenGL demo by an Ogre3D demo using my library.
The nice part is that I’ve managed to move some depth to rgb conversion to the GPU (using pixel shader).

The Ogre::Kinect library is available under MIT license:
Binary demo: OgreKinectDemo1.zip
Source code: svn on code.google

You'll find other project related to Ogre3D on my blog too.

Thanks

Nice work! I was wondering about a Kinect Ogre port, but I didn't think it would come this quickly. Definitely going to try it out sometime.

Very cool. Now if only I had the Kinect hardware....

Very cool. Now if only I had the Kinect hardware....

Same thought here. Would have immediately tried it...

Looks really cool!
But it runs from PC, not from X360, doesn't it?

Hi

Cool

Does it work for Win XP, Windows 7 or just Linux?

[dddExperiments]

@Lee04: I have tested it with Win Vista and 7 only (not XP)

You can take a look at this really impressive demo using a very well-known mascott:



This demo was created by OpenNI using PrimeSense NITE (source code is available).

The camera that are you using in OpenNI demo is the kinect one? or is another kind of depth camera?

Really nice demo!

[dddExperiments]

@Brocan: I'm not the guy on the video , I've tested the demo myself and found this video on youtube but was too lazy to make a video... But this demo is indeed using a Kinect camera !

May be 2 or 3 kinect could be a perfect tool for motion capture

note: If you try the Demo. Don"t take the last driver of prime sensor (PrimeSense PSDK 5.0 HW drivers)
use PrimeSense PSDK 5.0 OpenSource OpenNI 1.0 compliant driver instead.

Wow, this looks really cool. Now I want to get a Kinect so I can mess around too.

Hi,

Did anyone managed to use the demo with the new Microsoft Kinect SDK? I have just installed it (never installed the other drivers before), dowloaded the OgreKinectDemo and I can't get it to work. The Kinect demos provided with the SDK work fine, but they are not as nice as this Ogre demo I saw before.

At the moment I've got the following error: "The program cannot start because libusb0.dll us mising from your computer". I don't think it is related to the Kinect SDK, unless I missed a step?

Future is here!! Wow! Super video!
