Kinect live

A Kinect, a laptop and a projector, and the people in front of it become the show: silhouettes, skeletons, water, fire and 79 interactive scenes. Hang it over the floor and the dance floor itself answers every step.

Facing the crowd

People made of light

Point the Kinect at the room and everyone in view is drawn in real time on the GPU, in the house colours or your own. Nothing is a recording: it is the people dancing right now.

  • Silhouettes, skeletons, outlines, auras, holograms and X-ray
  • Pixel, voxel, halftone and glitch bodies; fire, smoke and electric
  • Echoes and colour trails that follow every move
  • Nothing mirrors people back at themselves: no faces, no copies
What it does

79 scenes on one plug

Built for our own second floor, where the projector looks down at the dancers. Everything runs on the GPU in a browser tab; a small bridge program talks to the Kinect.

Bodies

Silhouettes, light bodies, pop art, comic, ink on paper, neon fill, rim light, depth bands and follow spots.

SilhouetteSkeletonAuraHologramX-ray

Water and fluids

A real wave simulation every move drops stones into: liquid floor, neon water, ripple rings, bodies in water, liquid metal.

Floors

LED dance floor, glowing carpet, hex floor, lava, light pools, bent grid, zen sand and dunes under people's feet.

Between people

Constellations, territories, heat maps, gravity grids, star lensing, metaballs and laser grids drawn from where everyone is.

Gestures fire the show

Hands up, a jump, a crowd gathering, the room's energy or someone stepping into the centre can fire a flash, an object flash or confetti, and with VJ 3D open, the console's own drops.

Effects on top

The VJ console's effect library over the scene: glow, colour, distortion, glitch and light, minus anything that would mirror or duplicate a person.

Fit any projection

Move, scale, rotate, flip and crop the picture to the screen or the floor, with a calibration grid and a circular portal shape for a round floor.

Listens too

The Kinect's own microphone drives the pulse of the scenes, so the floor breathes with the music as well as the dancers.

Set up in one line

On Windows, one command in PowerShell installs Python, the Kinect drivers and the bridge, and starts it. A diagnose command says what is wrong if the Kinect does not show up.

Our second floor runs on it

The Kinect plugin was built for Panjgoosheh nights, where a projector looks down at the dancers and the floor lights up under them. It is played in front of a crowd before every update reaches you.

How it works

On the floor tonight

Make a studio account

An email and a password. It is yours alone: you do not need to be a Panjgoosheh member, and it is not a membership.

Pay card to card or with TON

Card to card: an exact amount to the club's card, matched by the bank's text within a minute or two. TON: an exact comment, found on the chain. No forms to wait on.

Open it and play

Your studio opens the software in the browser the moment the payment lands. Paying again adds the days to the end of what you have.

Questions

Before you plug in

Which Kinect do I need?

A Kinect v2 (Xbox One, with the PC adapter) gives the best tracking. A Kinect 360 works too. On Windows both give full skeletons; on macOS and Linux the plugin finds people as body shapes from the depth camera.

Is anyone filmed or recorded?

No. The Kinect's picture is turned into shapes on your own laptop and drawn on the screen; nothing is uploaded or stored. No scene shows a face.

How hard is the setup?

On Windows, one PowerShell command installs everything and starts the bridge. Your studio shows the command with a copy button, and a second one that tells you what is wrong if the Kinect does not show up.

Do I need VJ 3D as well?

No, the Kinect plugin runs on its own. With VJ 3D open on the same laptop, gestures can also fire the console's drops; the bundle has both for less.

Do I need to be a Panjgoosheh member?

No. The studio is open to everyone, with an account of its own that has nothing to do with club membership.
