@paz Brilliant! I love Bradford - I was based at the Playhouse for a couple of years  Be great to meet☺

The Adafruit Huzzah is also fine, it can send OSC over the Network to your Show PC. Much easier to setup then Serial communication. Please be aware that you should have a solid isolated network for this types of things. (That can do both 2.4 Ghz as 5Ghz, since micro controllers most speakly on 2.4Ghz)

@emtv I don't know your set, but often lighting the thing that does not move is easier than lighting the thing that does, so carefully lighting the set with IR and not lighting the stage could be an easier solution. As long as you have good contrast between the set and the actors you can always adjust the image and invert it. I could imagine trying to always light the actors everywhere on stage and not spilling on the set could be more difficult.

Great that you got this working. I've never even heard of that camera. Cool!

I had difficulty getting any of the tracking features such as body & skeleton.

What is the resolution of the sensor? It has to be 320x240 or 640x480 for the body tracking to work.

Ha okay ;) thanks!

Thanks the floet to integer actor is a good idea, I will play with that1

To reset the actor in case it trackes the background I now decided to use this simple set-up with a comparator defining the max z distance.

Thanks

Thanks for your help, I use the actor smoother and so far moving my sphere is smoother. Thanks again and see you soon. Thierry.

@dbini Thanks a lot for that idea. I would need to dynamically split the window to do that, since the dancer might turn in any place on stage. Maybe I could on one side find the blob center and use it to place the split and have several eyes++ running on different virtual stages. I'll have to check out some day. Unfortunately I'm not very constant in my dedidaction to dig into izzy.

the tutorial.izzy file is not included in the download.

The file guru13-tracking-with-openni-tracker.izz is in the download. Isn't that the file you are looking for?

@goddessmoon2017 so far the skeleton tracker needs NVIDIA cards for cuda acceleration and it is windows and Linux only.

It is early stages and resource heavy right now, and also still only available in the US and china. I had to get one forwarded from the US to develop with.

For sure it will get better and cross platform support but this is going to take quite a while to get there and then to stabilise (SDK wise)

@Woland 

Thanks for this follow-up. This is a great article.

No need to apologize. Now that I know that those features will come soon I will not search for them thinking I'm not looking at the right place 😄.

Again, good work Isadora's team!

Hi Armando, I am using a setup with a 2010 MacBook pro running NI mate and a PC running NI mate for 2 kinects with a 4K Isadora patch and I am getting 30 fps on the three Kinects.

@goddessmoon2017

the wings are just 2D image. Kinect is for tracking the body so Isadora knows where to attach the wings,
