skelecaster reads skeleton frame data from an attached Kinect, serializes it into UDP packets, and sends it over the network.
- Microsoft Kinect SDK
C:\> skelecaster [ip_address:port]
If no arguments are given, IP address/port will be read interactively from console. If no port is given, the default is 11011.
Each packet starts with a header:
| Offset | Contents |
|---|---|
| 0x00 | #0x01 (fixed value) |
| 0x01 | #0x01 (fixed value) |
| 0x02 | #0x02 (fixed value) |
| 0x03 | number of tracked bodies |
Followed by a data block for each tracked body:
| Offset (relative to body block start) | Length | Contents |
|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | 8 | Body tracking ID |
| 0x08 | 4 | Joint 0 (X) |
| 0x0C | 4 | Joint 0 (Y) |
| 0x10 | 4 | Joint 0 (Z) |
| (joint position data repeats for joints 0 - 24) | ||
| 0x134 | 1 | Joint 0 status |
| (joint status data repeats for joints 0 - 24) |
- all data is little endian
- joint position components are encoded as floats
- joint numbers correspond to values of JointType enumeration
- joint status values correspond to values of TrackingState enumeration
