Kinect Juggle v0.1 - Demo

Virtual juggling with the kinect sensor. Uses the openNI library to track hand locations allowing ball to be thrown around the screen.

If you have a kinect sensor download the project and have a play.

The c++ code is stashed here:

Hey man!is it possible that you tell me how do u track the hand Y axis velocity?

@lamelamelol Hi there, sorry I missed this before. I keep track of the hand movements over time and then take the difference between readings to get velocity and acceleration vectors. Have a look at the particle data class in the google code project.

Thanks, I'm glad you approve!

And the tune: Kid Koala - Drunk Trumpet (Live at The Metro, Chicago)
