Exploring The Kinect's Video
The Microsoft Kinect gives us Video, 3D Depth Data and SkeletalData streams to work with. Of these three streams, the one of most interest for me is the 3D Depth Data. The skeletal data is essentially the result of a classifier on the depth data that performs high-speed post estimation (and this also happens to be the reason that the Kinect is a user-friendly consumer electronics device - you don't need to engage in shitty calibration every single time the device must be used).
So, enough about the Skeletal Data. We are going to look @ the depth + video data. I know that this is an exact mirror of the Sample Skeletal Viewer that comes with the sample. But hey, this is just to learn.Today, I got the Video Stream to work and I will push the depth stream as well when I can get some other stuff out of the way (aka a stupid mid-term).
