#Kimmove - Emulating MS Kinect.

"Kimmove" recognizes human interfaces and gestures, hence allows FPS gaming just by hovering "Kimmove" in the air with all the buttons wirelessly embedded into a single device . This relishes the user's gaming experience by satiating the true gaming spirit. This project can be extended by integrating it with the micro-controller and using an array of IR blasters to detect the depth and human gestures more effectively and precisely.

##Prerequisites Though Kimmove is a plug and play device, but for interfacing it with your machine.The following requirements must be met.
OS - Windows
Graphic memory - N/A
RAM - N/A
Peripheral - Bluetooth,camera (atleast 320x480)
FPS - Any Dependencies - pyautogui,pygame(only if GUI interface is required). OpenCV - Not required (standalone executable).

The device can be operated in two modes:

  • Navigation Mode
  • Gaming Mode

In navigation mode the handheld can be used for controlling your mouse pointer. In gaming mode the handheld will control your movements in FPS.

##Code snippets: NavMode.cpp and GameMode.cpp differ at line 133-134

SetCursorPos(-pposX+posX+FRAME_WIDTH/2,-pposY+posY+FRAME_HEIGHT/2);
SetCursorPos(posX, posY);

In navigation mode the co-ordinates of cursor are directly mapped to the desktop screen. while in gaming mode the co-ordinates of cursor which are mapped from a 2 dimensional screen for a 3 dimensional gameplay by adjusting the x and y coordinates according to the frame size.

##Handheld: It is embedded with three SPST buttons on the front, a thumb button at the rear and a I/O switch below.
The front three buttons are for Left,right click and reload. The thumb button is for switching between the two modes of operation. The I/O button powers up the Arduino board and HC-05 (bluetooth module).

##Usage:

  • Execute GUI.py, which will guide you further.
