Here's a demo of how you can use Synapse to get Kinect's depth image into Quartz Composer, as well as joint positions and event information. Head over to http://synapsekinect.tumblr.com for more information and to download.

  • thanks for sharing, works perfectly. Do you have any idea how to show also RGB image in quartz like background, please ? I tried it through Kineme Kinect plug-in (synepse plugin quartz cant load at all in snow leopard) but looks like kinect is hooked in your tracker app. thank you

  • @marprochazka You can't run Synapse and Kineme Kinect at the same time, they both get a "lock" on the Kinect. I have an idea for something I want the RGB feed for, so I may release an update to Synapse soon with support for receiving the RGB image.

  • how do you get the z coordinate into a readable value for the particle system?

  • @choshi007 I think the Z coordinate when using screen_pos gives you a number between 0 and 4000 (or close to that) depending on how close the joint is. You could map the output from that Z value to do anything you want with a particle system.

  • I have the same problem - the patch browser finds qcosc, but not synapse kinect. Both are in the same directory. Show stopper....

  • @lesserepiphanies That's strange, the problem only seems to occur on certain computers. I've heard of it happening to 3 people (including chickybooo who was able to get it to work on his other computer) but I haven't been able to figure it out. Maybe someone else who knows more about QC patches could help?

  • @awwbees yes you should!!! that would be sweet. Synapse and Quartz composer = awesome. Also I am wondering about multiple character recognition? Anyway thanks!

  • @awwbees good news :)

  • I'm having an issue setting the port to 12348. My problem is it won't set. any advice?

    

  • @awwbees no but I'm using a circle so i want to emulate depth by changing the radius... what would be the math from starting with the structure index member connected to index 2?

  • no my problem is I'm doing a circle instead now so i want the x to change radius

  • no my problem is I'm doing a circle instead now so i want the x to change radius
