I MESSED UP THE WALK CYCLE I'M SORRY

Meanwhile:

Microsoft has released V2 of the Kinect. It’s available for $200. 

Look at all these people! They’ve forgotten how to walk entirely.

The open source kinect bindings, libfreenect, have provisional support for kinect v2, but no skeletal tracking (for either version). 

There seems to be one open-source skeleton tracking implementation, but it only supports one person at a time:

And presumably that person is the author. I like papers that coerce their authors into awkward positions:

Onward!

Is he doing a dance-walk? He does a weird hop thing. Maybe he is surprised by one of the pictures.

Have you guys tried this with the big lenticular lens? I can help with calibration on Monday, though I think I left a test print with its settings in the cardboard box with the lens.

Might be a bit easier to see what's going on here:

I'd be curious to see how this looked with more image-heavy/colored stuff, or how this might look if adapted from your iphoto clips library. I'll lob some PDFs at you that are sitting on my computer in case you're also curious

One cool thing (@cgingold)—hope you can see it at this scale—is that if the source material has regular formatting of pagination, you get some context “for free”:

& the bomb; having flipped through this PDF prior to making the rendering, the black feet image about 3/4 through stands out dramatically:

I now have a script to render these at arbitrary resolutions and sizes—let’s figure out if there are any we should plot!
