That's impressive. There seems to be still some minor delay between real action and feedback from the Kinect, which in my opinion was one of the drawbacks of the original. I used it to record point cloud sequences (like a 3d-scan video) and used them with particle systems in Cinema4D to make a video. And it was definitely fun.

skip directly to 2:08 because first part is a boring intro. The boxers (actually he is ONE, a friend of mine) are made with Kinect capture, using the code made by these cool guys http://moullinex.tumblr.com/post/3180520798/catalina-music-video. It uses Processing to capture the data. And the data files of point clouds are really huge

@peternap thank you! Basically I used the Kinect to capture the movement of the boxer. I captured clips of data at 30 fps like a video, but instead of the image for every frame I recorded the scan of the points in 3d space, then I could use those however I wanted in a 3D application. I associated them to the cards and I could move the camera as I wished. Resolution was low but enough to give the idea of the shape.

@flablo this was great man, have you been doing anything with Processing as well? Greets from Ljubljana.

@flablo

Sure it is very basic. I posted it because i liked the song and i remembered the video with Kinect. No intention to make comparison, just wanted to share the news. As for your link and your video: very interesting stuff, good work! :-)
