Once upon a time, on youtube I saw a video showing off software like this:
I think its super cool. But the high cost (100 dollars a day) and fact that uses a 2D camera left me wanting to make my own.
With that, here is a demo of what I’ve made. Details after the video
Hardware:
- Uses Kinect V2.0 Camera
- Running on a Dell XPS Ultrabook thats ~2 years old
- Standard lighting
Software:
Highlighting Holds:
This is where it highlights the holds, showing in the first few seconds of the video. It uses a grid every five pixels and will stop selecting if the color changes drastically
Tracking People:
This is the wireframe overlayed on me. This is done by Microsoft’s software
Detecting Human -> Hold Collisions:
This is done by tracking the human hand and checking it against the distance (one threshold) and depth (another threshold). If each are met, the hold is marked as “reached” and the color is changed.
Will upload software later — it needs to be refactored / cleaned up
