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.
That's a good point about the sensors, I didn't know this camera-latency problem. WHat kind of sensor have you used in your work ? Have you used wireless sensors ?
imo, camera are good to track body position. kinect look to have a sensing zone that is a bit limited.
A combination of the two could be an idea, but then it's complicated to merge the data...
Thanks for the infos
