Example Usage

Get Sensor and Initialize

• Kinect node is a functionLibrary, this return the Class UKinectManager.
• Get Sensor is a method of that class and returns an array of connected Kinect (UKinectSensor class), in this example I take the first sensor found.
• Now we can initialize the sensor:

  • We need to pass a base material to apply later the rgb and deep textures.

  • The BaseMaterial need a Textureparameter named KinectTexture. (used to apply the buffer when creating the instance dynamic material.)

    

Get and Update Color and Depth Stream

• We use the method UpdateColor and UpdateDepth. (look at the picture above, also each material has been applied to Cube and Cube1.)

Update Skeleton Stream and get Joints Positions and Bone Rotations

• The function UpdateSkeleton set a structure array variable (skeletons detected).
  • Each structure contains:
    • JointPosition (array Vector)
    • Rotation Bones (array Rotation)
    • PlayerID (Skeleton ID)
