Truebones Ladder iPiSoft with 2 Kinect Camera Sensors

Hey there...your dual Kinect placement seems different than the suggested one having them both at 45 degrees from the subject. Is the placement from opposite sides in this ladder video your preferred Kinect arrangement?

@vitaminCatisfaction Hi, for this demonstration, the 180 degree or opposite sensor configuration worked better. Thanks for your question.

@truebones Cool...thanks! What's your rule of thumb on this? Generally speaking, on which motions do you go 45, or and which are better for 180?

[truebones]

@vitaminCatisfaction I find that 180 is best for faster sports motions. 60 degrees is best for general acting and slower motions. Thanks for your questions.

Hey Joe, Just wondering if you left the ladder in the scene as part of the 2 seconds blank space and when you did the calibration or did you add it just before you recorded your performance?

@instasquid I had it in there the whole time. I did my Tpose on the side.

@truebones Interesting. I tried something similar with a treadmill in order to capture a walk cycle. I left the treadmill in the opening 2 seconds and calibration, but afterwards when I stepped on it the program refused to see any part of me that was overlapping it. My legs vanished from mid-calf down. Maybe the ladder works because it's full of holes? I'll have to run more tests.
