A few action requests...
« on: February 23, 2012, 05:37:57 PM »
would it be possible to make actions for the uart (Unity augmented reality) plugin (https://research.cc.gatech.edu/uart/content/download)?

and the zigfu unity kinect bindings (http://zigfu.com/legacy.html) as well?

Also could we get an action to retrieve the user's desktop resolution and set our application to that same resolution? Trying not to use unity's dialog at the start and have my own custom one ingame, can this be done?

Thanks in advance

Cool links!

For AR I've been using the Qualcomm AR kit, which is free and works great with Playmaker. It's very easy to setup and comes with the basic behaviors you'd need to get it working. Then you can just use Playmaker to control the scene...

Have you tried used uart or Qualcomm? What features would you like exposed in Playmaker?

I'm a huge AR fan, so definitely want to support it in Playmaker...

Also a huge Kinect fan. Just got Kinect for windows to play with :). Again, would love to support this in Playmaker, but need to play with it some to figure out the most useful way to integrate it.

Any specific action ideas for both areas would be most welcome!

Kinect stuff with PlayMaker is an interesting question. Both the PrimeSense Unity thing and Zigfu' own version already come with plenty of scripts to get most stuff running. I would guess that two areas where people may want to harness this stuff in PlayMaker are receiving notifications of events such as a new user being on the radar, and a user skeleton detection being complete. And a quick way for getting all the joint rotations and positions into PlayMaker so that certain position data can be compared and used to trigger stuff (very basic e.g. if right hand goes above head, change to a different state)
