    Cheap Loops

    Kinect tracking software automatically assigns IDs to performers in the tracking field. However, confusion, loss of ID, and new ID assignments occur when performers leave and re-enter the area, or when performers are occluded through crossings, or close contact. As part of the Tracking And Smart Textiles Environment (TASTE) project we created new software that overrides the automatic ID assignments and assigns IDS based on the colour of each performer's costume. This overcomes some of the issues caused by automatic ID assignments. This piece demonstrates the colour tracking in action, with each dancer controlling the volume of their own rhythm tracks based on how close they are to the Orbbec.

    Dancers: Samantha Krystal (blue), Kayla Price(yellow), Gemma Tomasky (green), Hanna Van Inwegen (pink)

    Update: Ian Lavery, Daniel Tsui, and Jack Griffiths added pose tracking to the KiCASS abilities, using a Nuitrack camera for the capture. Here's a video of testing colour, distance, and pose tracking
