Hello
Recently i was asked to create a tool to preview mechanical pieces for automotive industry,
so i proposed to create a tool similar to VR but using the kinect to avoid using a head mounted display.
It is still on an early state but the controls already feel smooth and user can grab individual pieces of the car:
The technology used :
-unreal engine 4.17
-kinect v2
-kinect sdk v2
-custom kinect plugin (i used unktomi for reference)
Gestures:
-close and open hand to grab objects
-throw gesture
-lasso gesture to rotate whole car
-lasso gesture above head to reset to initial state of the car (collapse and accomodate all the parts)
-player position in reality moves the virtual camera
Please feel free to give me your advices/comments ,
i am still working on the next version.
