hi!
i think openni should be available for the rpi.
and with the asus xtion i read somewhere its's working.
i don't know about the kinect openni driver for rpi.
without gem there is no ready to use solution for pd yet.
but you could build your own openni external, activate the depth-
and usergenerator and get the center of mass of detected users.
this would not be too complicated, and everything you need can be
found in pix_openni.
i'm not sure about cpu load, this could be quite intensive for a
rpi.
but maybe there is already a standalone application doing exactly
this thing and sending osc?

Hi again,
So after some more research I've come to the conclusion that the
ultrasonics aren't going to do what I would like - not a wide
enough beam and unnecessary accuracy.
Perhaps if I say what I would like 'something' to do, someone may
say "oh, you want one, two, n of these".
I have a digital wind chime thingy that now works ok on the RPi.
What I would like is to be able to put it outdoors with something
that will see when large objects, like people, are coming
towards and moving away from it and then I can make use of that
data to send force in pmpd to the chimes and then the chimes can
klang into each other.
Been looking at the kinects but it seems I'll need GEM to be able
to explore Matthias's very excellent looking freenect lib which is
a no-no on the RPi currently.
My friend and I have rounded up a nice solar panel, we've got some
old broken soundstick speakers that we've hacked into and a
weather-proof box plus a pole to hang it all on. Should be a nice
little project when it's done but a we're bit stuck on this
problem at the moment...
Any suggestions people?
Cheers,
Julian
