Unity + kinect + throwing Objects

[13Strider]

Hi Guys,

I'm Developing a game that allows the user to pick an object and throw
it at a target,
I have this working using a mouse, however not I want to use kinect to
perform these actions.

What do you guys think is the proper way of going to this?
What I was thinking was having a box collider on the user hand and the
Object , when these objects collide I would attach the object to the
users hand,
for throwing maybe I would a object above users head and when the
users hand collides with it I would throw the object.
Is there a way to get the force of arm throw? Is this the best way to
do this?

Cheers,
Sam

Hi,

I've started experimenting with kinect and unity and I'm having
trouble in triggering or colliding my avatar with other objects.
I've looked into matrix in unity reference and wrote some scripts but
obviously I'm doing something wrong.
Basicly I've an avatar I assigned it as riggedbody and I've box
collider which has simple script something like (if
(Collider.tag(("avatar") { print("something")} )) but somehow
something is missing my avatar never collides with box collider. Any
suggestions , help ?

Assign the rigidbody to the hand of your Avatar,
Im working on the same thing and I used colliers at first but now I
created a gesture and upon gesture trigger I release the ball.
let me know if that works.

hi 13strider,

i'm working on kinect object throwing too.

it sounds like you found a method that worked for you. 

i guess it's 2 years ago already, but if you could share a bit more detail about how it works, it would be a big help to this group.

Maybe a screen shot of your unity object inspector.

or a quick screencast showing how you did it?

cheers

In my case I put an axe in the hand with a box collider. As you can see it's not super accurate where I should have used a mesh collider, or put a more specific collider around the tip of the weapon. It's going to be more accurate than throwing a collider around the entire avatar. And really each body part should have a separate collider so you can yell "ow my leg!".

Although this isn't kinect specific, it applies to the same mechanim setup.
