node-hands

===

intention

---

node-hands is a straight forward nodejs library which provides live x, y, and z hand coordinates from an xbox kinect to the browser via socket.io. if you're so inclined, [click here for a demo video](http://vimeo.com/user6080011/node-hands).

installation

---

1. install [libfreenect](openkinect.org/wiki/Getting_Started)

2. install [liblo](http://liblo.sourceforge.net/)

3. download and run node-hands

        git clone [email protected]:catshirt/node-hands.git

        cd node-hands

        npm install

        node server.js

    if you access [localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080) you'll have an open socket waiting for OSC messages.

4. compile and run bionic-dj

        git submodule init

        git submodule update

        cd lib/bionic-dj

        gcc -lfreenect -llo -framework OpenGL -framework GLUT -I ~/Code/libfreenect/include bionic_dj.c

        ./a.out

    where `~/Code/libfreenect/include` is the path to your libfreenect header files

bionic-dj should now be sending OSC messages which nodejs forwards to the browser.
