The KinectMocap application comes with the full LSL distribution. This program requires the Kinect Runtime to be installed: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=253187
If the link does not work, you can also download the SDK from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/kinectforwindows/Develop/Developer-Downloads.aspx
The program connects to the first Kinect on your computer and streams the joint positions (as well as some extra data) of up to two tracked persons. For details, take a look at the channel labels and properties associated with the stream.
-
Make sure that your Kinect is powered on, connected to your computer and that it has fully booted, which might take a few seconds (there is a green LED on the front).
-
Start the KinectMocap app. This is a console program which has no GUI. The app will close itself when no Kinect was found; otherwise it will automatically link itself to the LSL and start streaming data.
-
The Kinect will automatically assign a tracking ID to any person walking into the picture (at a supported distance) and return position and confidence values for that person's joints. The joints (and correspondingly the channels) are anatomically labeled as in the following picture:
- To consistently track with multiple people crossing the sensor view it is important to use the tracking id to identify position data consistently with a person. Do not rely on the order of the channels for this purpose if you are tracking multiple users.
