Ni mate and unique person osc messages
-
i'm using a first generation kinect and a trail version of ni-mate 1.16.
in researching for a september event i've hit a problem.so far osc messages are quick to get into izzy and to use on screen.the problem comes with a second person osc stream into izzy. i don;t know how to set up ni mate for a second person.i have applied to join the ni mate forum to ask the question.i'm asking it on this forum as i hope there might be some knowledge out there i can tap into. -
I've just approved your account.

"The user number assignment is permanent and a new user is always assigned the lowest available number. What this means in practice is that **the first active user will be given the number 1, the second the number 2 and so on.** If user 1 deactivates then the second user will still be number 2 and the next activated user will become number 1.**In Basic, Orientation, Basic + Orientation and Animata formats the OSC name is appended with "_[user number]". In OSCeleton format the integer number is the user number.** The Omni mode doesn't currently support multiple users."Hope this helps. They key bits are in bold. -
thankyou :)
does basic present the x,y,z of say the left hand ?my very quick playing seems to suggest this. -
I believe so - but not having the kinect in front of me working I don't want to say 100% yes.
It seems thats the case in the [documentation.](http://www.ni-mate.com/documentation/#tab_skeleton) -
thank you @skulpture.
working with the kinect is very frustrating as it's so difficult to see the results when working alone (inside the patch). time for a cup of tea and to consider if kinect is viable for the project in september... -
Yes a lot of real time software is hard to work with; especially working solo. I find that a lot.
I guess it depends what you are trying to do; if you need any help give me an email. -
Having had the same problem I solved it building a control panel with numbers showing plus a 2D slider for each body part (eventhou I generally yse just hands feets and head). Police size is 50 so I can be far from the computer and calibrate.

@armando i like your solution.
i'm going to consider if i can metaphorically build the bridge between what i perceive as the potential of the kinect to actually achieving it. to do this i first need to get beyond the frustrations that develop when attempting to work with the kinect.
