Kinect-via-Synapse Max Interface

by

First published in Dec. 2011, Kinect-via-Synapse Max Interface routes and displays user-tracking data from the XBox Kinect via OSC messages inside Max/MSP. No external drivers required, although you will need Synapse (http://synapsekinect.tumblr.com/), as well as the OSC-route external. The interface handles fifteen /joint messages for a single user, three different tracking modes, and six different joint event messages with a real time configuration of external routing options. Includes installation, guide manual, as well as credits.

That’s an amazing patch, especially if need to use part of the Kinect dataflow as an event triggering. Thanks for sharing!
I would only add 2 basic steps for rookies in Kinect/OSC use:
1) after starting Synapse, don’t forget to stay in position (stand up and put your arms up) and wait for skeleton detection, and
2) pause (but don’t quit) OSCulator (or other software you use for OSC communication) after making the handshake in channel 12345 or 12347 (a tricky step you have to do before setting the patch at the right UDP channel).
Nice job!!!
