Although a little ambitious I want to create a interactive installation for my final piece in two weeks time. I have devised the idea of formulating algorithms that are pre-programmed in processing to procedurally generate a landscape that is displayed on a screen via a projector. To create some interactivity I have obtained kinect the sensory device used for xbox's that can detect the movement of people and record their position. With the use of this I want the kinect to track the speed of movement in the viewers body, forming sharp jagged terrain when the viewer moves quickly and smoothed and less harsh gradients when the viewer moves subtly. The purpose of the kinect will also serve to capture the direction of the head to allow the viewer to virtually navigate through the landscape depending on where they face there head.
I am a complete novice.
Could someone please help me get the code started off and if you have any useful advice of how to approach the code in processing to enable all these functions that would be much appreciated
Thank you for your time,
