Experimenting
with Kinect v2
in browser
The Kinect v2
is the updated, improved version of the Kinect v1
and it was developed especially for developers
+ improved camera (full HD)
+ improved body tracking
+ higher depth fidelity
The problem
it can be used only on Windows 8 (officially)
you need a USB3 port
the official SDK is only available in C#
The tech solution
WebSocket - client side
var host = '10.99.0.252',
channel = 'kinectdata',
port = 8181, ws,
wsImpl = window.WebSocket || window.MozWebSocket;
...
function initConnection() {
ws = new wsImpl('ws://' + host + ':' + port + '/' + channel);
initSocketBindings();
}
function initSocketBindings() {
ws.onmessage = function (evt) {
var data = JSON.parse(evt.data);
...
}
}The tech solution
WebSocket - server side (ok, it's not UID)
+ simple, C# Windows application
+ easy to use the Kinect v2 SDK
+ access all the streams, raw data
+ send it through socket
Websocket support
Use your creativity
+ play around with the body parts, joints!
+ use the depth stream, infrared stream
+ do all the magic & fun in simple canvas or WebGL
DEMO TIME!
Thank you!
