We used Synapse to get the coordinates of hands. Synapse is an open source program which tracks human gestures with kinect and sends the position of joints or bones through OSC messages. We then need another program to receive, and handle these messages. For that task we used Processing with OSCP5. This sketch will convert the hand position to a servo direction, and sending that data over serial port. An Arduino will then receive the data on serial port and send the values to the servo motor connected directly to the Arduino board.
You will need:
Hardware:
- Kinect
