A fair bit of work has already been done in simple template based object identification with the Kinect and even Skeleton tracking. I finally got my hands on one today from JB Hi-Fi, and paid a few bucks extra for it. Harvey Norman finally got them in stock at the end of the day. Terrible logistics or favouritism to employees, or something in-between. Anyway I can now get a 2nd one from the pre-order. Apparently a single USB 2.0 bus is insufficient to handle the stream from 2 Kinects. I did some simple experiments with OpenCV, just adding some hue mapping and swapping the RGB channels, tomorrow we are having the 12Hr Hackathon at Adelaide Hackerspace, might get to make a lantern controller then.

hi, I'm very interesting about using opencv to analysis data getting from KINECT, I just bought a KINECT today but I don't know how to connect the KINECT to my computer, I'm desperate searching internet but no one mentioned about it, the USB port of KINECT is not a standard USB port, I don't know how you make this work ,I'll be very appreciate if you can tell me , thanks a lot.
my email is hxflyer#gmail.com
