Using Kinect Inside GlovePIE to Emulate Any Input Device


Submitted by Jared; April 27, 2011
Youtuber and super Kinect Hobbiest manallin has devised a clever means of using kinect inside GlovePIE in order to emulate any device that GlovePIE support seeing as how GlovePIE doesn't currently support Kinect. He was able to come up with the work around by using OSC messages inside GlovePIE using the Glovenect OSC client (a modification the developer made to OSCeleton). The client sends OpenNI Skeleton's nodes in separate OSC messages which are then read by Glovepie allowing the emulation to take place.
In this case ive scripted a simple scene with Glovepie and Ive mapped the coordinates of the hands to trigget midi notes via Software MIDI-YOKE. There is also a fader that is controlling the modwheel of the Reason patch and two Octave buttons, one up and one down.
For a full tutorial on how to set this up with very detailed step by step instructions, head on over to the source of this articles YouTube page. Download Glovenect HERE and make sure to check out our other downloads while you're at it.
