Kinect-HTML5

Display Kinect data on an HTML5 canvas using WebSockets.

Description

This project connects a Kinect-enabled application to an HTML5 web page and displays the users' skeletons.

The application acts as a WebSocket server, transmitting new skeleton data whenever Kinect frames are available. The web page uses WebSockets to get the Kinect data and display them on a canvas.

Prerequisites

• Kinect for Windows or Kinect for XBOX sensor
• Kinect for Windows SDK v1.8
