Hello everyone. Over the summer I did a small project to familiarize myself with the Kinect that I decided to release since I saw that people are interested how could this work.

As a basis I used Brainsaw amazing StuntMarbleRacing open source game that I modified to implement the Kinect.

- The kinect is updated on a separate thread.
- It maps body movements to a virtual joystick that can be seen on the screen.

There are 4 different controllers

Lean Based Controller - lean left / right back/forth
Pendullum Controller - raise hands to track form initial position. gentle moves control the ball
Location Controller - raise hands to track form initial position. broader moves control the ball.
Knee Based + steering wheel - unfinished

To run the game you need :
Windows Kinect OpeNNI drivers. Installer here :

or MSI installer : http://www.4shared.com/file/NRtim-U5/Ki ... acing.html

Code ( needs to be cleaned, I was a beginner when I started this project ) :

I hope this is useful. I'll update the code to make it much more cleaner...

The potential of this is that Irrlicht is a good platform for Kinect Windows Games.

Nice to see you finally got it released . I'll add a link to the Stunt Marble Racers homepage, too bad I don't own a Kinect.
