Role and delivery

Design and development of the software behind an interactive display questioning controversial products on the shelf. Visitors are detected by a Kinect depth camera through the NUITRACK middleware; the real-time application is written in C++ with libCinder. Tracking a body with a depth camera means holding two constraints at once: latency, which must stay below the threshold where gesture and response come apart, and robustness to a real audience — several people in frame, quick passers-by, and supermarket lighting that is nothing like a studio.
