Use the Kinect as a patch in your Quartz Composer compositions

Some demo videos:

• Mesh
• Metal creatures
• Contour lines

Installation

1. Download the kinectComposer.plugin from the Downloads section.

2. Make sure you put Quartz Composer into 32-bit mode: Get Info on Quartz Composer.app in the Finder, and tick "Open in 32-bit mode". (Super sorry about that.)

3. Drag out a Kinect patch from your Patch Library and go to town.

PLEASE NOTE

Most everything is broken. Sorry!
