Hi!
We are currently working on a interactive game with Coolux, unfortunately we don't have a lot of knowledge about the Coolux system. We are wondering if you could give us some advice .
One of the most important feature is that we use the Kinect device to track players and mirror them directly on the screen via Coolux.
We know that we can connect the Kinect directly to the Widget Designer, but the game requires rules and mechanics. So we have to use a game server.
The design for the system looks like this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1900872/image/systemmodel.png
- The 4 game clients will use the Kinect to track the bodies of the players. The coordinates of their 'joints' will be send to the game server.
- The game server collects the coordinates and applies them to the game mechanics and rules.
- The necessary data (e.g.the 'joint' coordinates of the players) will be sent to the Coolux system, which will be projected on the screen.
We are currently planning to draw the body parts in the Coolux system and move them according the coordinates given from the Kinect. This seems to be the most simple solution and we are wondering if you guys could help us out.
Thnx!
