[CLOSED/COMPLETED]
We are looking for a skilled Python programmer to help us get the Kinect into the blender game engine for our project. The ROM below is a framework and we are open to suggestions from either the applicants or the community on what is possible given the project time frame.
Technical ROM for Kinect Object / Gesture Interaction
in Blender 2.58
Objective: To allow a Blender Game Engine (BGE) 2.58 runtime to utilize the Kinect as a gesture input device to control a BGE object(s) in real time on all three axis.
