Lua Vision, an Open Source Kinect module in Lua
Lua Vision is a module that provides facilities for using depth data in Lua. It's first target is the primesense chipset which powers the Microsoft Kinect.
Lua Vision is aimed at both coders and artists who want to create artistic and academic visuals driven by the Kinect.
The module features:
- Triple buffering in a background thread handling frame delivery
- simultaneous access of the depth frames from multiple threads
- A fast blob tracking engine for basic analysis of the frames
- Access to the raw depth data for further use eg with skeltrack
- It uses the buffers provided from the void module or LuaJit FFI
