README

ofxVirtualKinect is an addon for openFrameworks

It uses ofxKinect to create a virtual depth camera by rendering a mesh with fog based from an arbitrary perspective. This allows you to mount the kinect wherever you like, and then get a virtual depth image from a perspective you may not otherwise have access to.

ofxVirtualKinect uses a customized version of ofxControlPanel.

ofxVirtualKinect was originally created for the 3rdi interactive installation in Doha, and was called ofxVirtualCamera at the time. This new version has been updated to work with openFrameworks 007, taking advantage of the standardized FBO interface in openFrameworks.
