DESCRIPTION
During this university style interactive session, you will learn easy methods for connecting to the Microsoft Kinect 3D depth sensor using patching tools like Cycling ’74 Max. After briefly learning the basics, you will see how two streams of data from the Kinect can be manipulated easily using Max and displayed in an interactive OpenGL 3D graphics environment. You will leave the session with access to the code examples from which you can learn and reuse. Prior knowledge of the Kinect, Max, or OpenGL graphics is not required. Questions from you, the participants, are encouraged.

Hello World:Visual Patching Languages
Cycling '74 Max
● Visual patching environment/language with 23 year history
● Original ancestor from IRCAM; French institute for science about music and sound
● World-wide use by musicians, developers, researchers, and visual artists
● Enhancements (extensions) are both open source and commercial
● Available for Windows and OS X
Microsoft Kinect
● Released Nov 2010 for Xbox 360® gaming● Quickly hacked for art and robotics● Microsoft responded with hardware refresh and
SDK● Includes 4 sensors
– Depth camera for 3D
– Color camera
– Accelerometer (gravity rotation)
– Audio microphone array
Depth Camera for Kinect
● Position in real distance (meters)
● Coordinates in X, Y, Z
● Head = 0.0, 0.8, 2.0
2.0 m

3D Computer Graphics
● Commonly used today in all media
● Range of power from handys clusters of →computers
● Two common programming standards: OpenGL and Direct3D
OpenGL 3D graphics
● Cross-platform (Windows, Android, Linux®, OS X, and more)
● Coordinates in X, Y, Z
