engine.kinect Functions

This set of functions is available when the Kinect2 plugin add-on is loaded. This plugin is used for receiving already detected data from a Kinect2 sensor.

If the plugin is loaded together with the engine, the HAS_KINECT definition is set. This definition can be used, for example, to avoid errors if the plugin is not loaded: the code in which the plugin functions are executed can be wrapped around as follows:

Source code (UnigineScript)
#ifdef HAS_KINECT
	// engine.kinect functions
#endif

The Unigine Kinect plugin works in the foolowing way: when engine.kinect.isBodyTracked(body) returns 0, engine.kinect.getBonePosition(body, bone) will return vec3_zero. Kinect has its own framerate, so the body tracking information is not available each engine frame. The wrist tracking can be achieved via:

Source code (UnigineScript)
vec3 wrist;

int update() {
    if(engine.kinect.isBodyTracked(0)) {
        wrist = engine.kinect.getBonePosition(0,KINECT_BONE_WRIST_LEFT);
    }
    engine.visualizer.renderSphere(0.05f,translate(wrist),vec4_one);
    return 1;
}
