Kinect interactive music visuals: boom boom = shake the room

Mind-blowing real-time music visualiser using the depth data from the Kinect sensor. Be sure to stay tuned till at least 1:24 when the interactive particles kick in. This is an oscilloscope-like 3D effect with Kinect data and some interactive particle physics reacting "live" to sound input.

The particles can be kicked around, but it's hard to catch them, partly because....

Boom boom = shake the room! Peaks in sound will cause an earthquake-like effect, shaking everything within the scene.

Sorry about the sound quality - it was straight from the computer speakers to camera's mic, hence tinny (but you can at least see it was real-time).

It uses OpenFrameworks, with the following addons:

ofxKinect (gets the Kinect point cloud data)

MSAPhysics - controls the particle physics, and enables physics interaction with the kinect data (though most of my kicks miss the particles, they are interactive and will bounce off the scenery/me)

I take the sound feed from the mic sound object, get the sound spectrum and apply it to the kinect data to produce the lines.

This is one of the best things I've ever seen, ever :D

LIVE CONCERT PROJECTION CAN MAKE THIS BECOME A SIT-SPECIFIC REALITY!

Can you share the source for fellow kinect hackers to play with?

Imagine if we could put this in glasses and wear them to clubs!!!!!!!

kooooool idea

wish my bedroom looked like that!!

How is the camera rotating?

[scottomel]

Very nice! Any chance of seeing the code for this? :)
