Head motion?

[Carlos Roberto]

Hi,
Maybe someone has any idea about this.
I was playing with sample PresentationMice - RunAnimationApp.bat to see how it works. In the actor view, when I move my head (direction to shoulders) left and right I dont see this movement reproduced in actor image. Looks like it tries to move the entire torso with head to left and right. Is there a way to make the actor move only the head in a way that I can measure the head inclination (angle)? Maybe another sample has this capability.
Any idea?

NITE, the underlying skeleton SDK, does not generate any tilt data for the head and neck, and it is not a capability that ICM adds.

 

If you run the stick figure sample from NITE, you can see what the data coming raw from NITE looks like. Default install location will be something like the following:

C:\Program Files (x86)\PrimeSense\NITE\Samples\Bin\Release

 

If you run that sample, you can see that the line from XN_SKEL_NECK to XN_SKEL_HEAD  does not tilt as you move your head. It can be a bit difficult to see from the default viewpoint, but you can zoom in a bit by holding down the right mouse button and moving the mouse.
