Hacking Augmented Reality with Kinect

The Discussion

• 

  so windows holographic seems extremely related to this, do you see windows holographic being used as an os/frontend/whatever for this?

  Casino? wasn't that The House of the Opera in Australia?

  The iconic symbol of Australia.

  @Antonio and @prodigiousAvian thanks :)  had me fooled with the insert coin projection on it

  Hi,

  Something I don't understand, I assume only one Kinect 2 can be connected to a PC so, in the schemas, if there is 3 Kinect there is also 3 PC ? 

• 

  Really looking forward to playing with this! Are you saying that Unity integration is something you are going to support moving forward or its more a matter of writing your own tools to parse the xml?

• 

   @jpencausse yes, you would need 3 PCs. The toolkit provides a Kinect server that can be used to distribute color and depth around the network.

• 

  @Zach We are thinking about adding Unity support. Of course, you can easily import the xml into Unity, but what have in mind for Unity support would go beyond just that, and would include shaders to perform projection mapping etc in a manner similar to that of the projection mapping sample in the Toolkit.

  Can we use skeletal tracking data in Unity3D or any other data format?
