Turn a broom handle into a Star Wars light saber with Microsoft Kinect and your PC - with video

Proof of concept of tracking and rendering a lightsaber in real time using a Kinect hooked up to a PC. Imagine the possibilities.





Best viewed in fullscreen 480p. I track a wooden stick and I overlay the light glow on the computer. Drivers using OpenKinect, image processing, tracking, and rendering using Open CV. Audio recorded and processed using Audacity and played using libao.
