Real time lightsaber on the Kinect on PC
Proof of concept of tracking and rendering a lightsaber in real time using a Kinect hooked up to a PC. Imagine the possibilities. Best viewed in fullscreen 480p. I track a wooden stick and I overlay the light glow on the computer. Drivers using OpenKinect, image processing, tracking, and rendering using OpenCV. Audio recorded and processed using Audacity and played using libao.

BAAAAAAAAAAAHWWW!
he looks a bit lame shaking his hips while moving a lightsaber
2 people are not asian jedis.
GO WORK FOR MICRO DICK…. I want my star wars game…. I believe u can make that happen for me !
@awoyoshix LOL
If only Microsoft comes out with something like this for the star wars games coming out on Kinect in December, but knowing them they will release a peripheral that costs like 50 bucks to play…
It seems we all got fooled : star wars kid was in fact a kinect beta-tester !

LOL xD
why am i not suprised that a asian did this?
its obviously fake. first of all its easy to see that he is impersonating the video. theres something wrong with the “lag”. and why would he shoot it like that, with a small mirror where you can barely see him. please dont like this too much… hell get a lot of credit for doin basic rotoscoping.
FAKE AND GAY
@deffmc Protip: that lag is on the kinect anyway.
@ekarnopp you thought there would be a real lightsaber?
don’t think you’re right deffmc, the mirror is a cheap and easy way to show the original.. the lag is bad yeah.. but his movements seem perfect. Plus there’s his other work.
resting a lightsaber on a chair?! it’s going to cut right through!
caraca, mt fera, quem dera usassem algo assim num jogo de star wars, não?
Asian \m/
Possibly fake if he doesn’t use a larger mirror to show off the whole thing, you can record a video like that and edit with Adobe After Effects then playback and mimic the same movements, maybe I’ll do that and post on youtube to start getting thousands of views!
that is a pretty cool trick. I predict he gets a job offer. good luck man!
@zorfael He is using a mirror, and it doesn’t prove anything either way. Sure seems real to me though, and completely and easily in the realms of technology. He is perfectly preceding his actions on screen, with kinect-lag accuracy; and the way the light is emitted from his screen tends to no editing was done on top of this video. Does his getting views really bother you that much?
@deffmc
The lag is the thing that makes it less fake, and more likely to real. The Kinect has lag in real life, and the fact that he is leading the movement on the screen makes it more likely it isn’t fake.
You can even see the folds in his shirt matching exactly what is happening on screen.
@Browncoatfox I don’t really care how many views he gets but if you’re good enough to create something cool like that why would you make a video footage that makes it look suspicious when you’ve got nothing to hide? Just grab a damn huge mirror and place it behind the monitor to show the whole thing, not your little sister’s Barbie mirror…
