Kinect VJ


Kinect VJ is an live interactive art. It uses Xbox Kinect motion capture technology to track audience's movements. Then it will send the information to a live performance software called VDMX. My goal is to provide audiences ability to play visual projection with DJs, in another word to say, make them to be VJs.

Also, I want them to explore how the body movements get involve in the live show. Even though they are not actually dancing, but their body commands can be considered as a form of art.

 How it works:

Kinect recognizes user's body and make an animated skeleton.
Kinect sends tracking information to VDMX.( XYZ coordinates of left hand, right hand, head)
Visual response from projection.
