  • If you send data according to this interface, you can animate avatar in real time even if it does not use Kinect.

Known Bug

• Ummmm, sometimes Camera Image is broken (not synchronized)....?? But, Depth Image is OK
  • Is my Kinect broken? Does anyone know the solution of this bug?
• If your Camera Image is broken too, please uncheck "Use Camera Image" CheckBox in "View Mode" Dialog.

Future Works

• Correct above bug.
• Save/Load animation Data.
• Support of Multi Avatars.
• Use position Data of Joints.

• The synchronization with another Viewers on the network (with External Animation Server?)　(Is this delusion?)
  • We have a idea about this, now.
