OpenNI Java Wrapper Test | Ubuntu 11.10

This is short demo of the OpenNI Java Wrapper. I've slightly customized the demo to - amongst other things - derive some joint angles of the skeleton. I'm planning to add generic middleware support which will enable this demo to deliver data specified by an IDL. In the final step this demo will be integrated into Blender.

Compile OpenKinect on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick | Kinect / libfreenect

UPDATED: 12-6-2010

Since the Kinect has been "free'd" you can find a driver in the github repository - currently the driver is under heavy construction {1}. There's also a Wiki {2}, a high frequency mailing list at google.groups {3} and a couple of weblogs dealing with the Kinect e.g., gilotopia.
The drive of all these guys (and prop. girls) is awesome (Thank you all)!

I like to add my two cents (for now)...How to compile libfreenect on Ubuntu 10.10:

At first, install some dependencies - these should be fine - If I'm missing something please let me know/comment. (Thank you anonymous ^^)

sudo apt-get install cmake libglut3-dev pkg-config build-essential libxmu-dev libxi-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev

Create a folder where you want to clone the repos and build the driver. NOTE: You don't need any root privileges, you can totally do this in your $home directory.
