Non-casual gesture games now possible?

[Geva Tal]

Making hardcore gesture games that real gamers will enjoy is not
trivial – but we now have a step in the right direction:

LenZ just posted to the Arena, an amazing reference built on top of
Unity3D reference project AngryBots
AngryBotsNI demonstrates:
• Sci-fi Shooting, martial arts and hand weapons attacks
• Diverse interactions, such as: energy shields, teleport, disguise,
cloning actions and more
• 3rd person and 2nd person (‘Mirror’) POV

Everything is in available in full source code too, go ahead and get
it at the Arena.
Take it as a reference and build your own game design models and
levels on top of it, or simply get inspired by some of the interaction
models
Thanks Len!
:)

Hi,
I just downloaded your project, but I am lost with few things.
I have a XBox Kinect device with me. So what driver-packages do I
need to install for the device.
Do I need ReDist or Development Edition.

Where is the unity package I need to download, could not find it in
unity asset store. Link please.

Link please.
Thanks,
MSL.

Hi,
AngryBotsNI is based on the OpenNI wrapper, so you must have OpenNI/NITE installed.
From http://www.openni.org/Downloads/OpenNIModules.aspx
- Choose "OpenNI Binaries" and "OpenNI Compliant Midlleware Binaries" to download OpenNI/NITE
- choose " OpenNI Compliant Midlleware Binaries"-->"Unstable"-->"PrimeSense Unity Wrapper Unstable Build v0.9.7.4", you got the wrapper.

Actually the wrapper is already included in AngrybotsNI source, which is in OpenNI Arena: http://arena.openni.org/OpenNIArena/Applications/ViewApp.aspx?app_id=586

There are lots of threads about device driver, but still you can refer to this blog(with almost everything you need):

Thanks,
Len

If "PrimeSense Unity Wrapper" is included in the AngrybotsNI source,
should I download it again or not, Are there some things missing from
AngrybotsNI source, like examples and such.

[Len Zhong]

To run AngryBotsNI, you don't have to download the wrapper separately.
But as the wrapper is available with full source, you might want to do it to,
1. play with the wrapper itself, without touching AngryBotsNI source;
2. small changes has been made to the wrapper in AngryBotsNI to support some features, so it's a bit different.

You could try newer OpenNI, as you can see from your log:

"Failed to get version with message OpenNI. This probably means that
OpenNI is not installed or an old version is installed, please install
a new version. See documentation for more info"

Actually the wrapper will check the OpenNI version, if you look at NICheckVersion.cs

The problem was using 64 bits Openni /Nite drivers , with 32 bits drivers all okay.

But thanks!
