Welcome!

Welcome to the Activate3D group for Intelligent Character Motion!

ICM is a technology we're making available to the OpenNI / Kinect
community for non-commercial use, for any other use you can contact us
at in...@activate3d.com. With ICM you can do intention recognition,
grasp detection and interact with the virtual world, defying the
constraints of your living room.

If you haven't downloaded ICM you can get it here, http://activate3d.com/download-icm/

To get started with ICM we recommend taking a look at the
documentation that can be found here:
"\SDK\Documentation\ICM Evaluation Guide.pdf" after you install the
ICM Free Community Edition.

For those of you using a Kinect on a PC you should read the page
titled, "So I've Got Kinect on PC..."

After you have the Kinect camera setup for use on the PC you can run
the samples that we ship found here:
"\Samples\"

Our version of "Hello World" can be found here: "\Samples\ExampleApp
\". It shows the basic setup that is required to do intention
recognition on a walking motion (just swing your arms naturally to
mimic it). There is no virtual world interaction in this sample, but
it will show you how to properly startup and shutdown our SDK.

From there you can look at either OpenGLAnimationApp or OgreSampleApp
to see how virtual world interaction works.

Any questions or feedback you have about ICM should be posted to the
group.
