Has anyone thought of Motion Capture with OpenKinect

I just saw this article about souvenirs created with 3d printers and some xbox kinects…

Made me think, why can’t we do motion capture with the xbox kinect? But i remind myself that i’m not really that smart, so somebody must be thinking about this and trying to come up with something? If not here is an open source idea, hope someone can make it work.

Just food for thoughts.

Has anyone thought of Motion Capture with OpenKinect

i think there is a GSoC project proposal for that.

Hi Jfaurbo,
I have a Motion Capture Studio.
For good Motion Capture you need 8 Cams or more.
I think kinects is not good enough for realistic Motion Capture.

Besides some one has already came across that idea. There was an article on it on Blender Nation.
