</font></blockquote></div><br></div>Not, really the same.. )<br><br>I started exploring the possibility of making KinectPlugin for Squeak, based on <a href="http://openkinect.org/wiki/Main_Page" target="_blank">OpenKinect project</a>. This don't require to install any drivers (like OpenNI) and run any external applications (like OSCeleton) for using Kinect sensor. So, the idea is that KinectPlugin just transfer two RGB and Depth images into squeak and all video recognizing stuff (aka Kinect wrapper) is programmed just in Smalltalk.<br>
<br>Here, Ricardo using another scenario. He uses an OSC protocol (trough network) in Squeak/EToys connecting to an external compiled programm OSCeleton, which communicates with the installed OpenNI drivers in hosting OS (Windows for now). OSCeleton takes Kinect
skeleton data from the OpenNI framework and spits out the coordinates
of the skeleton's joints via OSC messages.<br>That's is straightforward way of using OpenNI framework in Squeak and have it's benefits, great! <br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Exactly, I couldn't have explained it better :). We also started using OpenKinect and the video processing was *really* difficult. A friend of mine was working on that when we found OpenNI/NITE and stuff which does the actual hard work :). So, in the interest of having something working quickly, we just used that.</div>
<div><br></div><div>However, it's really uncomfortable having to install all those drivers and libraries (and copying/pastying xml files). I guess it's just not ready for final users yet...</div><div><br></div><div>
