Merging Multiple 3D Realities with the Kinect Camera

I wrote some software to merge multiple 3D video streams captured by the Kinect into a single 3D space. Objects from each video stream are superimposed as if they occupy the same physical space, with nearby objects from one video occluding more distant ones from another. Sometimes objects overlap, creating interesting mutant forms.

Next, I want to make 3D-merges of cats, dancers, silk aerialists, martial arts experts, that painting Nude Descending a Staircase, that scene from Alien, and much more...

Also, I want to take a moment to send some hate in the direction of WMG for blocking the original audio track on this video, forcing me to re-edit the whole thing with a new song. They need to get with the internet age and realize that they shouldn't say no to awesome free advertising.

Music is "Acid Rain" by Liquid Tension Experiment

Thanks to the OpenKinect team for writing the drivers that made this possible

when i saw your first video i already thought of this: vimeo (.)com/12825278

i am trying to figure out how to use this damn kinect with my mac since some days, but it seems i must wait till anyone will upload sth like easytouse programs to get into experimenting with it. anyway, i hope you are inspired by the other video and that one day i can make things like that life on stage!

thanks!

Will there be a download link, or perhaps a tutorial for this? I'd be really interested in doing this.

@davetrap Well, there are no games you can play with kinect on pc (yet). So its only interesting to developers at the moment. But I have no doubt great things will come that use kinect.
