#br

** RINIONS is Real Time Input from NI/NUI and Output to the Network and Shared Memory System [#w9d7aa38]
- Glossary: NI: Natural Input, NUI: Natural User Interface

#br

*** Rinions [#d9209e38]
- ''Rinions'' transfers animation data from Kinect/Xtion to Second Life Viwer. And ''Rinions'' realizes Real-Time Animation on Second Life or OpenSim. ''Rinions'' supports animation data file (BVH), too.

- ''Latest Version is 3.1.0 (20 Sept. 2012)''.  coming soon!!
-- Rinions supports ''BVH'' file and [[MikuMikuDance(MMD):http://www.geocities.jp/higuchuu4/index.htm]]. (Support of MMD is experimental, now).
-- Rinions supports ''[[Imprudence:http://wiki.kokuaviewer.org/wiki/About_Imprudence]]'', ''[[Firestorm:http://www.phoenixviewer.com/]]'' and ''[[Singularity:http://www.singularityviewer.org/]]'' Viewers.
--- There is very little change of source code. Therefore, if recompile is possible, it will work on other Viewers.
--- If you want to use other Viewer, please request to us at [[Rinions Forum:http://www.nsl.tuis.ac.jp/xoops/modules/d3forum/index.php?forum_id=14]].

#br
- Why is [[SLKinect]] renamed to Rinions ?
++ It works also except Kinect. (Is Kinect TM of Microsoft?)
++ It can be used also except Second Life (SL).
#br

*** Animation Relay Server [#lcdbcbd2]
- Animation Relay Server (anm_server) relays UDP packet data from one Rinions to all Rnionss of same group.
- [[More information about Animation Relay Server>anm_server]]
#br

*** New Functions of Rinions [#f78bf212]
- Dual Library Stack (''OpenNI'' and ''Kinect SDK'')
- Over the NAT (using UDP Hole Punching)
- Speed Up (-30FPS)
- Quarity Up (Use Position data instead of Rotation Matrix)
- Data Save/Load
-- OpenNI Raw Data, Original Text File, ''BVH'', MikuMikuDance Motion File (VMD). (Support of VMD is experimental, now).
- QoS of Server and Clients
- 64bit application
- Not need calibration (OpenNI)
- Delete Local Mode
- Supports for Xtion (with no camera)
- Control of LED and Tilt Motor (when Kinect SDK is used, LED is not controled)
- Correction of Kinect's Data
-- Moving Average
- Include ''anm_server.exe'' that is compiled by Cygwin
#br

*** Dual Library Stack (OpenNI/NITE and Kinect SDK) [#bedd5c7d]
| / | Device | Detection Speed | Incorrect Detection  | Tracking Speed | Software Reset of User Detection | Processing of Lost User | Initializing Camera Image | Turn (Spin) |
| Kinect SDK | Kinect for Windows, Kinect for Xbox360 | Fast | Often | Late for Camera Image | NO  (You need to put hand at front of lens) | Soon | Fast | NO |
| OpenNI + NITE | Xtion, Kinect for Xbox360 | Slow | Sometimes | Fast | OK | Late | Slow | OK |
- If you want to use Kinect for Xbox360 with OpenNI+NITE, you need to use avin2 driver.

*** Save and Load Data [#g0e8133a]
+ If you click record button on sensor window, animation data is wrote as temporary data.
+ Next, when you select ''Save File'' from ''File Menu'',  temporary animation data is saved.
+ If you select ''Load File'' from ''File Menu'' and specify data file, animation data is loaded automatically.
