Real time lightsaber on the Kinect on PC

Proof of concept of tracking and rendering a lightsaber in real time using a Kinect hooked up to a PC. Imagine the possibilities.

Best viewed in fullscreen 480p. I track a wooden stick and I overlay the light glow on the computer. Drivers using OpenKinect, image processing, tracking, and rendering using OpenCV. Audio recorded and processed using Audacity and played using libao.

guys the reason he had the mirror there was to show that it was in realtime and he was tracking something -_-

@chandlerblaze Wrong. It's a stick behind tracked by the Xbox kinec that's hooked up to a PC that processes the images, overlays a lightsaber glow and adds noises.

If you have a Xbox kinec, a PC, the proper software and the proper codes, you can do it. Most people don't have the software or custom written codes.
