I thinking of some methods to detect proximity between people in an installation.
Using the Kinect
Draw a circle around the person using the skeleton points and then detect if the circles touch?
How to draw a circle around a person
Idea
- use the head and hips x and y coordinates from the kinect chop, add a sphere and use the object chop.
- add a circle and check out the way that bileam tschepe did it with audio and a hand. I think it was using alpha channels and only in 2d
- Python
Notes – kinect has IDs to identify players – this will be a way to tell if there is someone there
Possible issues
Will this work with multiple people?
– does the kinect have settings for how long between switching (ghost?)? Nvidia body chop has that feature
