prismspecs

I'm doing an installation with a top-down projection and Kinect capturing infrared bodies. Basically right now all I want is to grab the data from Kinect (the easy part) then send this through jit.touches and then have that provide the coords to render white circles on a black background which will be projected onto the participants.

I have a few problems so far but the main ones are that I can't figure out how to render the circles without them flickering like crazy, and that jit.touches needs some caressing that I haven't given it yet; once touches are released, their data is still there, so it still renders a circle.

I think the problem with the flickering is that the last circles in the list only get rendered for a split second before the entire scene is cleared, whereas the first circles get more time to stay on the screen and seem more fluid. Maybe I should develop a system in which a black circle erases the last position of the user instead of clearing the screen, or maybe going with something other than jit.lcd would be best. Please help!

Ok the flickering is somewhat solved now.. but what the heck is with the phantom blobs?!

Solved? Would like to be updated to your project. Interesting!

i am trying to do a very similar tracking, i need the number of blobs from above - and i try to combine cv.jit.touches and jit.freenect.grab. though it does not work - the kinect turns on, but no input is coming through. any ideas about what the problem might be?
