Kinect Open Source Programming Secrets: Hacking with OpenNI, NITE, and Java

The Kinect motion-sensing device for the Xbox and Windows became the world's fastest-selling consumer electronics device when it was released (eight million sold in its first 60 days) and won prestigious awards such as Gaming Gadget of the Year.
This presentation covers the Kinect's powerful sensing capabilities, which use a unique combination of open source software and Java libraries. It begins with the basics—depth imaging, 3-D point clouds, skeletal tracking, and hand gestures—and then examines more-unusual topics such as Kinect gaming, motion detection with OpenCV, gesture-driven GUIs, and accessing the Kinect's microphone array.
