Talks in spring 2018 at FMX and VRLA
It’s official I will be speaking at
FMX: April 24 – 27 in Stuttgart, Germany
https://fmx.de
And
VRLA: May 4 – 5 in Los Angeles, United States
http://virtualrealityla.com
Early bird tickets are already available for both conferences at their respective websites.
Topic will be “Ahh Screw It…Let’s Use Depth Sensors and VR/AR Equipment in Production”
The main vibe of this talk will be inspirational by showing real world examples of using low cost hardware in 3D animation, visual effects, game production. In the first half we'll explore the use of consumer depth sensors (like Kinect, Orbbec & RealSense). Topics include pointlouds (volumetric video) and motion capture. In the second half we'll look at recording Vive/Rift tracking data and see how it compares to some higher end motion capture equipment. As well as how a HoloLens can be used on a highend mocap shoot to help visualize realtime 3D characters on set. Oh and there may be some 80s & 90s animated gifs :)

Free BVH Viewer from Ben van Basten
A friend of mine, Ben van Basten, just released a free BVH viewer on his site:
http://bvhviewer.developmentinmotion.nl
It can display pretty much any BVH file you can throw (including the ones coming from my apps) at it and can be nice to quickly browse through a bunch of files.
Brekel Kinect Pro Body and Pro PointCloud available
Brekel Kinect Pro Body and Pro PointCloud are now available from the brand new online shop, along with Pro Face as well as bundles with discounted prices.
Trial versions are available from the products information pages from the menu on the right.
The wait is over
That’s it, the wait is over, Brekel Kinect Pro Face is now available in both a Trial and Retail version.
Brekel Kinect v0.50 update
Motor/LED support doesn’t an additional driver anymore.
Plus this version should be more stable when doing long continuous recordings.
Have a good 2012!
Brekel Kinect v0.37 update
Loads o bug fixes, GUI tweaks and a small new feature or two, head on over to the releaselog to see the full list of changes.
Enjoy,
Brekel Kinect v0.36 update
This release fixes the glitches that were present in the MotionBuilder streaming. Make sure you also update to the latest version of the MotionBuilder device plugin for that.
It adds a start delay for BVH recording, so you can more easily do recordings when you’re on your own.
And a few minor fixes regarding flipped color image output, and occlusion display in the pointcloud view (red vs white dots)
Enjoy,
