In this second article on how to develop kinect assisted applications with java, we will be implementing OpenNI java wrapper into Eclipse and make a simple project for starters.<\/p>\n
First add all libraries you use for graphics rendering. Lately I’m familiar with LibGDX for doing graphics in Java so i will be adding its jar files into my project then i will include them in Java Build Path -> Libraries. Anyway i will not go into detail in this part because everybody has their choice of graphics library.<\/p>\n
Now, let’s show Eclipse where is our Kinect wrappers and native libraries.
\nIn Eclipse:
\n1- Click Projects -> Java Build Path -> Libraries
\n2- Click Add External JARs add select org.OpenNI.jar which is located in “C:Program FilesOpenNISamplesBinRelease”
\n3- Click Arrow button near Jar file we have just added to expand menu.
\n4- Double-Click on Native library location and select Jar path which is “C:Program FilesOpenNISamplesBinRelease”<\/p>\n
At this stage, we are done with implementing the wrapper. But we need some sample code to test it , right?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Earlier this summer, I started a project to develop a framework to ease kinect assisted development. In git repo of that project I also shared a simplified code for adding skeleton and hand tracking.<\/p>\n
Download : http:\/\/github.com\/ayildirim\/bolt<\/a><\/p>\n After downloading project Now, we are done with libraries and classes for basic data acquisition. Why did we add kinect1 into our own project if it could have worked alone?<\/strong> How I use it in my projects?<\/strong> 1- Initate each object and variable of UserTracker class in Create method just like it is done in the Main method of UserTrackerApplication.java You can check out a kinect assisted game I develop as a contractor earlier this semester.

\n1- Import kinect1 folder as a Java project into eclipse.
\n2- Click Projects -> Java Build Path -> Projects for your own project (not for the one we just imported)
\n3- Click Add and select kinect1 which we just imported.<\/p>\n
\nYou can even run UserTrackerApplication located in kinect1 project to do some skeleton tracking.<\/p>\n
\nWe added it into our own project to use its UserTracker class because it does everything needed to be done for tracking<\/p>\n
\nIn following part of the article I will be referring Create and Render methods, These are both LibGDX methods but all graphic libraries methods similar to these ones.
\nCreate : is called before scene or window loaded.
\nRender : is called every frame to render scene or window.<\/p>\n
\n2- In Render method I call updateDepth and repaint methods of UserTracker class so it checks for user movements and show them in its own window.<\/p>\n
