This is a proof-of-concept of a gaming platform for public spaces based on body position tracking and projection. Check out this demo video on YouTube to see it in action.

It uses the now-defunct NiTE2 library for interfacing with the original Kinect, as well as user motion tracking. A wrapper library was implemented to allow Qt/QML to interface with it, and the games were implemented using that.

There is also a simple UI to keep track of what the cameras are seeing and to help calibrate both the projection and the in-game position mapping.
