Skeleton Tracking
For Computational Cameras, we are supposed to come up with 10 ideas for skeleton tracking using the Kinect. These are the ideas I came up with.
1) 2-person horse costume – apparently this requires 2 Kinects 🙁
2) controlling a puppet
3) using the human body to make architectural structures (“look, I’m the Eiffel Tower!”)
4) play air guitar/accordion/drums
5) turn a conga line of people into a train
6) multi-body part drawing apparatus (each joint/appendage could be a tool, like pencil or paint)
7) a game of Simon Says
8) 2-person ballroom dancing teacher
9) jump up and down to make explosions (wider arms and legs make for bigger mushroom clouds)
10) direct an airplane landing
