hello,
for the kung fu : movement are usually very fast. a camera is usually to slow to be useful.
i personally prefer using sensor like accelerometter on the body. you can use wiimote or some other (faster) sensors system.
here is a video of a performance i worked for few years ago. http://vimeo.com/4596629 sensors are used at time : 4'57 to 6'06 and from 6'43 to 7'23.
at 6'43, you can see that this kind of sensors are lot's more accurate that what you'll be able to do with a camera.
imo, camera are good to track body position. kinect look to have a sensing zone that is a bit limited.

Hi all,
I planning to do some video tracking in order to sonify some performance: a dancer and a kung fu form. I basically need to track different movements and connect them to some sounds.
I'm evaluating different technologies at the moment. Kinect looks like the best way to track body movement.
What's the best way to track body movements ? Is Kinect really the best solution ? What are other solutions ?
Cheers
