About the Course:
Depth cameras are available for several years now and are of high interest for many application. But the Microsoft Kinect is the first low budget hardware that enables to obtain a live depth image. Since the Kinect has been hacked, a large community has evolved that works on creating drivers and software for the Kinect. Within the last month a large number of videos have been published that show the use of Kinect for a wide range of applications, like controlling computer games, user interaction, robotics and augmented reality.
The goal of this lab course is to teach the basics of using depth cameras. Participants will do weekly assignments using the Kinect and will work on a large final project. In this final project they will develop one application per team. These project can be from the field of computer vision, game development or human-computer interaction.
Experience in C++, computer vision and computer graphics are beneficial for this lab course.
