LGKinect

LGKinect is a Processing sketch for sending a live Kinect feed to another application, via Syphon.

About

This Processing sketch was commissioned by Suzanne Kite to track three dancers using a Kinect and send a mask of their shape to Resolume Arena, where visuals were mixed live and projected onto their bodies.

Usage

1. Download and install the SimpleOpenNI Processing library available here.
2. Un-zip Syphon.zip and install the resulting Syphon Processing library.
3. Plug in the Kinect's USB and power adapter.
4. Open and run the LGKinect.pde Processing sketch.
5. Open an application capable of receiving live video (ex: Resolume Arena) and select the Syphon video stream source.
