Depth-sculpting strobe light using Kinect 3D camera

I've written a program that uses the Kinect 3D camera to take 3D snapshots which record the nearest object to the camera in each part of the image. By taking multiple 3D snapshots at different times and then merging them to show the closest object, I can create a 3D sculpture that you can walk through.

This runs in real time, creating a fully interactive experience.

Thanks to the OpenKinect team for hacking the Kinect and making this all possible.

This is kinda trippy

I am very interested in finding out how you have managed to find out which is the nearest object. How have you managed to establish object distances relative to the camera? Is only the closest object that you can identify or , say, could you find out which are the five closest objects and their heights ? If you can do this i would like to offer you a collaboration in my project.
