In the software, this is either a "Good" or "Perfect" rating. If the cameras' actual depth sensors (the little red cameras on the Kinects) are the proper distance from you, the proper distance from each other, inline with each other, and pointed at the correct angle then you get a successful calibration each time. Luckily I found the secret to success: sensor positioning. No calibration means no motion capture, and no motion capture means no kung-fu moves for the game! In fact, I failed miserably because I couldn't get my Kinects to calibrate in the software, iPi Soft Mocap Studio.
While this particular take was a success, the initial setup of the dual motion sensors was not. That's me in the middle standing behind and holding a big'ol white calibration board. Of course, it's convenient to have a sort of permanent setup with PS Eyes, fixing them to the walls or ceiling, so you do not need to do calibration very often.Do you like the digital version of me in the picture above? It is a screen shot from my new dual Kinect setup in DBG Studios for the sci-fi fighting game, Future Fighter (TM). However, it is not of a much trouble when got used to it. And PS Eyes are better at feet and head tracking, as well as for quick motions (60fps vs 30fps).Ĭalibration for PS Eyes is a bit trickier and longer. However, due to sensor limitations, the capture area is much less than with PS Eyes. The accuracy is about the same comparing 2 Kinects and 4 PS Eyes. Also, the calibration process is very simple for dual Kinects, it takes about 10 minutes. For home usage, the dual Kinect configuration is better suited, as it does not require much space. There is far too much setting up and waiting around for results and starting again.Īll space requirements are listed on our website. And then you cannot see if your capture was successful until it has been 'solved' off line. Then you have to 'calibrate' them which is a real trial and error pain in the ass.
What they dont tell you is that you need loads of room for the spacing of the cameras, ( so it is not a desktop / home solution ) and that you need to distrubite all the camers out on seperate usb's. They also recommend using all of them ( 6 I think ). The makers themselves recomend the PS3 camera's for accuracy rather than Kinects.
