Comment Feed for Channel 9 - AutoCAD and the Kinect http://files.channel9.msdn.com/thumbnail/7356dee5-06de-474d-aba9-4b43c9344bd6.png Channel 9 - AutoCAD and the Kinect Kinect and AutoCAD? Yes, you sure can... Note: These samples are currently based on the Kinect for Windows Beta 2 SDK and while since the v1 release I've tried to avoid Beta 2 projects, there's been some requests for more LOB Kinect usage examples and I've not seen many/any AutoCAD & Kinect examples. I'm sure if there's sufficient interest Kean will update the samples for v1... UPDATE 3/21/2012: Yep, Kean was all over it and has released a v1 compatible version, Updated AutoCAD + Kinect for Windows samples. AU 2011 Samples: Integrating Microsoft® Kinect™ with AutoCAD®Anyway, I’ve had some fun over the last few days combining the various Kinect samples I’ve posted on this blog into a single “KinectSamples” project, which will form the core of the Kinect demos I’ll present at AU 2011. I took the opportunity to factor out common functionality from many of the samples, introducing something of a class hierarchy, in the process. Here are the commands for you to build and try: KINSKEL “My first Kinect” sample, showing how to create a rudimentary jig to display skeleton data inside AutoCAD KINECT Dynamically displays a point cloud at the chosen resolution (see KINBOUNDS), and captures/imports a full resolution, colorised point cloud on click KINBOTH Overlays both skeleton and point cloud data in an AutoCAD jig, creating linear geometry and importing a point cloud on click KINSNAPS Captures a sequence of point clouds and combines them prior to import KINSAMP A system variable, rather than a command, that specifies the sampling rate for the point cloud display (50 means one in fifty points gets displayed, 1 means they all do) KINBOUNDS Allows definition of a clipping volume for point cloud display and import. This clipping volume is respected by all commands in the sample allowing point cloud import KINPOLY Draws a sequence of 3D polylines while jigging (and then importing) a point cloud KINEXT Sweeps a circular profile along a spline path KINEXT2 Sweeps a circular profile along a spline path, creating regular segments to improve performance and reliability KINNAV Navigates a 3D model by adjusting the view based on input from Kinect Many of these samples now use the following class hierarchy (listed with a brief description and the names of the commands they help implement): DrawJig (the core AutoCAD base class) KinectSkeletonJig (our simplest sample, kept as a flat class, to simplify copy & paste into a new project – KINSKEL) KinectJig (base class for the more complex samples, handles sensor initialisation and message forcing) KinectPointCloudJig (handles display of a point cloud - KINECT) KinectCombinedJig (displays a skeleton on top – KINBOTH) KinectDelayJig (combines a sequence of snapshots – KINSNAPS) KinectPolyJig (draws 3D polylines – KINPOLY) KinectSolidsJig (sweeps a circle along a spline path – KINEXT) KinectSegmentedSolidsJig (ditto in segments – KINEXT2) I may yet factor some more in advance of AU – there may be an opportunity to put some kind of gesture handling base class in there, for instance – but having too deep a hierarchy may also make it a little harder to understand the code. We’ll see what makes sense (and I get time for). ...

In case anyone's interested, I have the samples all ported and working for v1. I'll be posting them to my blog at some point during the next week (all being well).

Thanks for the update and the update on it. Smiley

I'm editing the main post now to highlight it.
