Admittedly a bit late in the day for this post, but we are at this year’s Internet of Things Forum annual conference #IoT16 – it’s our first time here and it’s been a great couple of days so far (we’ll definitely be back next year), so if you’re also here and would like to discuss anything software […]

Following on from Kinect Augmented Reality – Part 2 we’re now looking at drawing contours using our point cloud data. Achieving this is rather difficult, and after lots of researching an algorithm kept popping up – the Marching Squares Algorithm. Marching Squares is a algorithm for generating contour lines using a 2d array. I wanted […]

Following on from Kinect Augmented Reality – Part 1 we are now exploring getting the Kinects depth sensor data into our browser. Due to the sheer amount of data coming from the Kinect, using WebSockets is the only viable option for us. There are a fair few examples of this that can be found, however all of […]

  At Digital Tactics we are keen to explore new technologies and enjoy tinkering with interesting ideas and pushing the boundaries. We have always been interested in the Kinect and I was assigned to take a look at using the Kinect to create our own version of the Augmented Reality Sandbox. The Kinect contains 3 […]
