[PD] kinect on Debian/Ubuntu made easy

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Hey all,

I've used OSCeleton a bit to use the Kinect with Pure Data aka Pd to
make a musical instrument with the body.  Here's the product of some
Patching Circle hacking with a bunch of people:

A few of us have also packaged stuff for Debian/Ubuntu including
osceleton, the OpenNI and PrimeSense stuff, that's here:

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-multimedia/primesense-nite-nonfree.git;a=summary
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-multimedia/primesense-kinect-sensor.git;a=summary
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-multimedia/osceleton.git;a=summary

And here's binaries of the packages built for Ubuntu Maverick, that
might work on other releases of Debian/Ubuntu/Mint:

Hope that's useful to people!  You should be able to just add that ppa
to your system, then "apt-get install osceleton" to get the Kinect
working and outputting OSC.
