excerpt of project thesis
I finished my project thesis including general information about the Microsoft Kinect sensor device as well as a detailed documentation about it’s application in combination with Pure Data and Gem.
This document might be useful for people working with the Kinect in combination with interactive sound and video installations and performances.

What is Pure Data (Pd)?
Pure Data is a very flexible visual programming environment, developed by Miller Puckette for creating electronic music. It is available for free and many people contribute in extending it’s functionality. Today it is widely used for creating sound, visuals, data, multimedia installations, music composition, signal processing and analysis, … It can be seen as Open-Source alternative to MAX/MSP.
Due to its visual programming nature its usage is very intuitive.

Real Time Head Pose Estimation from Consumer Depth Cameras by Gabriele Fanelli [ref name=”fanelli”]http://www.vision.ee.ethz.ch/~gfanelli/head_pose/head_forest.html[/ref]
======================================
download source and windows/OSX binaries: https://github.com/kronihias/head-pose-estimation
Application that detects head position from a depth image provided by Microsoft Xbox Kinect Sensor in x,y,z and Euler Angles (pitch, yaw, roll) from multiple persons.
–> needs no calibration!!
Application sends data as OSC[ref name=”osc”]Open Sound Control (OSC) is a message based communication protocol for multimedia systems.[/ref] Message in the format:
/head_pose [User_ID] [x] [y] [z] [pitch] [yaw] [roll]
