[GEM-dev] videoKINECT plugin for pix_video

[Matthias Kronlachner]

hi!

it would not be too difficult to make a separate pix_kinect object that 
does not depend on pix_video,
but i think it would be good if pix_video is working with the 
pluginsystem not only on linux and to keep the videoKINECT idea.

beside:
i found a nice smoothing trick for the depth image: 
http://www.morethantechnical.com/2011/03/05/neat-opencv-smoothing-trick-when-kineacking-kinect-hacking-w-code/
a pix_opencv_inpaint object therefore would be good.

in vvvv there is an object Kinect Multi Skeleton that outputs the depth 
image AND the skeleton data based on openNI.
maybe a similar object for gem with the openNI framework would be more 
useful than the libfreenect approach. (because you can't connect 2 times 
to the kinect if you want sceleton and depth image)
i'll have a look on that...
