This project is an attempt in openframeworks to create a simple projection mapping implementation using kinect and a projector, to be used for a theater play.
I'm learning by doing both programming and GitHub. I started this project by using genekogan's ofxKinectProjectorToolkit 's example (calibration and bodyMapping) to which I am adding things - and see where it leads.
Clone this to the apps folder of your everyday openframework.
Plug kinect (v1) in, update drivers using (.inf) files fom addons\ofxKinect\libs\libfreenect\platform\windows\inf
####calibrate
- basically the same calibraton process from ofxKinectProjectorToolkit
- will produce a xml.
Copy the produced xml file to the playbox bin folder.
####playbox
- loads calibration xml, gui presets
- control panel first screen (keys + gui + visual)
- projection screen second screen
| Key | Function |
|---|---|
| F1-F4 | Save current parameters to a file (save preset) |
| 1-4 | Load parameters from file (load preset) |
| p | draw/hide elements in the 1st window (production mode) |
| o | draw/hide a debug projection mapping in the control panel |
| i | draw/hide slected contour interactive in 2dBox world |
| y | draw/hide fbo tests (gui fboTrial++ to see al tests) |
| b | "Breaks" the selected contour into 2dBox physics triangles (explode) |
| r | interface "raining" flag makes 2dbox boxes fall from the sky |
| c | Clears all 2dbox stuff |
| left,right | select countour |
Addons for openframeworks.
- ofxXmlSettings
- ofxOpenCv
- ofxCv
- ofxKinect
- ofxSecondWindow
- ofxKinectProjectorToolkit
- ofxUI and
- ofxBox2d
- ofxColorGradient
Tested with 0.8.3 (win8, win8.1)
- I'm learning so this will be very messy. very very messy.
- Resolution in ofApp.h is hard-coded. Changing values would kill the magic. #define PROJECTOR_RESOLUTION_X 1360 #define PROJECTOR_RESOLUTION_Y 768 #define SCREEN_RESOLUTION_X 1366 #define SCREEN_RESOLUTION_Y 768
- some strange issue with box2d, drawing circles messes up drawing fbo in secondwindow.end
Removed play and kinect folders, focus is on playbox (box2d+kinectprojectortoolbox) Added couple of shortcuts to explore interaction between box2d world and the projector calibrated kinect blobs.
Some copy/paste programming to allow 'presets' to show as proof of concept (currently just color change).
- Formatted README
- Added a 4th screen in the control pannel of play, showing the life performance in control pannel and the real-life kinect
- Added presets (f1-f4,1-4)
- Cloned play to playbox and added
First version, mostly clones and succesful compliles using visual studio.
- Cloned calibration and made it work (adding testing=false)
- Cloned body mapping example
- Cloned kinect default example from ofxKinect to be used as a default hw check if kinect works.
