Projective Gaming Platform

Project source at lucaspcamargo/projective-gaming-platform

This is a proof-of-concept of a gaming platform for public spaces based on body position tracking and projection. Check out this demo video on YouTube to see it in action.

It uses the now-defunct NiTE2 library for interfacing with the original Kinect, as well as user motion tracking. A wrapper library was implemented to allow Qt/QML to interface with it, and the games were implemented using that.

There is also a simple UI to keep track of what the cameras are seeing and to help calibrate both the projection and the in-game position mapping.

This project was made for TIEVS84 “Human-Technology Interaction Project Work” at the University of Tampere. If you are interested, you can read the full project report, in PDF format.
