<div>hi!<br>
<br>
i think openni should be available for the rpi.<br>
and with the asus xtion i read somewhere its's working.<br>
i don't know about the kinect openni driver for rpi.<br>
<br>
without gem there is no ready to use solution for pd yet.<br>
but you could build your own openni external, activate the depth-
and usergenerator and get the center of mass of detected users.<br>
this would not be too complicated, and everything you need can be
found in pix_openni.<br>
<br>
i'm not sure about cpu load, this could be quite intensive for a
rpi.<br>
<br>
but maybe there is already a standalone application doing exactly
this thing and sending osc?<span><font color="#888888"><br>

So after some more research I've come to the conclusion that the
ultrasonics aren't going to do what I would like - not a wide
enough beam and unnecessary accuracy.<br>
<br>
Perhaps if I say what I would like 'something' to do, someone may
say "oh, you want one, two, n of <i>these</i>".<br>
<br>
I have a digital wind chime thingy that now works ok on the RPi.
What I would like is to be able to put it outdoors with <i>something</i>
that will <i>see</i> when large objects, like people, are coming
towards and moving away from it and then I can make use of that
data to send force in pmpd to the chimes and then the chimes can
klang into each other.<br>
<br>
Been looking at the kinects but it seems I'll need GEM to be able
to explore Matthias's very excellent looking freenect lib which is
a no-no on the RPi currently.<br>
<br>
My friend and I have rounded up a nice solar panel, we've got some
old broken soundstick speakers that we've hacked into and a
weather-proof box plus a pole to hang it all on. Should be a nice
little project when it's done but a we're bit stuck on this
problem at the moment...<br>
<br>
Any suggestions people?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Julian<br>
