Kinect browsing panorama

  • Hi,
    I've been working on this for some time, grabbing codes here and there and doing my own (I'm not a programmer), finally worked really nice, I added this to an art exhibition and people without experience made it through to control the panos just with body movements.
    Gestures worked are:

    • hands to rotate,
    • walk forward/backward to zoom in/out,
    • a right punch gesture to click on the center of the screen, but as panos switched over time

    Todo list:

    • left hand moves the pano (dragg mouse) right hand moves mouse
    • left hand punch for left click
    • right hand punch for right click
    • GUI!! with gestures, options and so

    Here the exhibition video and some prior test on 360cities panos:

    Code needs some documenting and cleaning, then I will release it, still have to look where and how (advice accepted here)
    I'll let you know here when I do it.

    Cheers!
