New "Sinbad" sample application that demonstrates Ogre and NITE skeleton modules integration

[Ziv Hendel]

Hi Everyone!

PrimeSense has released a small new sample called Sinbad that
demonstrates Ogre and NITE skeleton modules integration!
The sample allows you to control an avatar with your body, It's very
cool!

Check it out at:
https://github.com/OpenNI/SampleAppSinbad
(Don't forget to read the README file...)

There's also a short video here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6xdopI9su4

Enjoy... :-)

Ziv.

Wow, this is really cool! What about more ogres in one scene? )

In the readme it mentions "Don't forget to start with the calibration
pose!" what is that exactly. I tried standing up and placing arms out
like the model, but to no avail. Any ideas?

[Tamir Berliner]

Yeap, the calibration pose is the "freeze" pose. Look at the video, you can see the guy performing it (and then on the bottom right on the screen you can see his depthmap being "filled" to notify the calibration timer)

Let me know if it doesn't work for you..

Run the demo, I met the error "miss d3dx9_42.dll".
After I copy the dll file, the demo also couldn't work.
I run it in Win7 32bit.

Should I recompile source code?

Linux ??

[Daniel Spelsberg]

Only copying the file doesn't work, you have to install directx
completely

if you want to build ogre from source you will need the directx sdk:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=2c7da5fb-ffbb-4af6-8c66-651cbd28ca15

you should check this site for Prerequisites

[Ziv Hendel]

HI Cogito,

You need to install the latest DirectX runtime libraries.

It can be downloaded from:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=3b170b25-abab-4bc3-ae91-50ceb6d8fa8d

I've added this to the README file.

Thanks,
Ziv.

This is really incredible. I have tried the same idea with animata,
but this framework with ogre is much more powerful and very nicely
written.

Thank you,

Parag

I used Sinbad in my local code camp presentation about Kinect tonight. It was very popular. One of the attendees had his 7 year old son with him so I asked him to come up and try Sinbad as well. He was all giggles and loved it. The favorite feature is grabbing and storing the swords. Here is a picture he tweeted:

I used the PrimeSensor for this. Thanks so much for sharing this code!

This is so awesome! Got it running in 2 mins. My wife loved it too. 

Thank you PrimeSense!

This is so awesome to hear!

Hi,

I have tested your code and works like a charm. I am trying to do the
same in Unity3d with no success. I am having problems passing the
joint rotations throught the hierarchy. I think all this is done in
the transformbone function, where you calculate some column vectors
(c1,c2,c3) which are not used and perform some change of sign on the
provided 3x3 rotation matrix of each joint. Also, you are reseting the
orientation transform and don't get why

Can you explain a little bit how/why do you do this?

Thanks and sorry for this questions!

Ricard

Hi Richard,

We have Unity integration working already and are working on opening
that also, please stay tuned as it should release soon :)

Hi,

Is there any way to run this demo on Linux ?

Thanks,
Jules

Hi Jules!

Technically speaking, there shouldn't be any problem with running it
on Linux since both Ogre and OpenNI/NITE are available on it...
But we currently only provide a Win32 build script and binaries.

If someone will make a port of this demo to Linux, we'd be more then
happy to add it to the code and share it with everyone! :)

Ziv.

Is anyone else having trouble getting the SinbadVs2010 sample to
compile? VS2010 is complaining that OgreString.h, OgrePlugin.h, and
OgrePlatform.h don't exist.

Scratch that, I didn't read the README.txt well enough. Sorry.

[Baub]

Hi kwende,

I am using also the VS2010. I can compile the Sinbad demo. But when I
try to execute it a window named "OGRE
Engine Rendering Setup" opens up. It asks to choose a rendering
subsystem. But their is no item for this choice, so I can't choose and
can't go on with the application.

Did you do something special in order to execute correctly the
application?
