Processing + SimpleOpenNi + Export exe

Seems like there’s an issue here where your code run find in IDE but not after exported to exe.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21755050/exporting-the-kinect-processing-application

So the solution is found here:

https://code.google.com/p/simple-openni/issues/detail?id=73

Problem begins from simpleOpenNI.class, trying to load libs from "/SimpleOpenNI/library/" withou success. I download the simpleOpenNI.java and i patched to take the current directory adreess and in nativLibPath string. To patch the java file simple add this line: static String workingDir = System.getProperty("user.dir"); after public class SimpleOpenNI extends ContextWrapper implements SimpleOpenNIConstants { and change 2 lines (32X and x64)from: nativLibPath = getLibraryPathWin() "\\lib\\"; to: nativLibPath = getLibraryPathWin() + workingDir + "\\lib\\"; compile the file and put it on simpleOpenNI.jar\SimpleOpenNI\ or download the atteched file and put it on: simpleOpenNI.jar\SimpleOpenNI\ located on folder lib!

{
and change 2 lines (32X and x64)from:
nativLibPath = getLibraryPathWin() "\\lib\\";
to:
nativLibPath = getLibraryPathWin() + workingDir + "\\lib\\";
compile the file and put it on simpleOpenNI.jar\SimpleOpenNI\

or download the atteched file and put it on:
simpleOpenNI.jar\SimpleOpenNI\ located on folder lib!

So, you will need to download the simpleOpenNI fix and replace with the one in your exportedApp\lib. Good luck!

Processing and Arduino port

Processing app that used serial method to talk to arduino need the correct port to connect with. This app can help you: processingScanner (run on 64bit computer)

Double check with your control panel -> Device Manager.

Device Manager show COM16 where our arduino board connected with, is match with index 0 in the processingScanner. So, the number/index to use in process is 0.

Kinect Pixel Mirror

This installation use Kinect to turn real human into pixel. A clever implementation as it avoided showing off kinect weakness but highlighted the strength.

Perhaps a animated gif can present the idea better. Iris-by-Hybe-3

However, Hybe is not the only one doing thing like this. There are many other attempts: http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2014/02/interactive-mirrors-built-from-arrays-of-moving-objects-by-daniel-rozin/ Here is my version of it, done using processing with screen base display. Havent have time to draw the grid yet, and i use icon from font-awesome for the representation.
