Kinect

Kinect is a range camera from Microsoft, originally developed for the Xbox 360. It combines a PrimeSense-range sensor, 3D-microphone and a color camera.

Declaration of components:

  • PrimeSense-range sensor is a infrared sensor, it will be used for range measurement.
  • 3D-microphone: An array of  four microphones is used to detect the source of sound.
  • Color camera: The camera can detect the different colors.

 

Output device

For output we use a projector with a resolution of 1024 * 768 pixels. The picture is screened onto a wooden panel.

 

Real world objects

With the help of the Kinect, we recognize wooden blocks with the overall dimension of 54mm * 54mm * 54mm.

 

Booth

We used a former construction for our game, which includes a sandbox(game) on a table. The projector and Kinect are attached to the sandbox.

 

 

Engine & Frameworks

We use Unity 5, which is a powerful and easy-to-use game engine, in combination with the ZigFu-Kinect plug-in, which helps us with the recognition of the blocks.
