The first part of the workshop will get you started using the Kinect for your own purposes. The second part will focus on the use of the Kinect inside openFrameworks together with OpenNI. We will focus on implementing hand and finger recognition in combination with basic vector math inside openFrameworks, for generating meaningful parameters which can be used for any system to be controlled with the Kinect. Please bring your own Kinect camera.
