Minority Report Demo

Physical Setup

This works best with a projector, but any monitor will do. In order to not become confused, I highly recommend that you put the kinect over or under the monitor.

Installation

1. Like all MIT kinect demos, you must first perform the General Installation

2. make sure you get Piano Player demo running.

3. in file kgui/rosdep.yaml, replace
   • glut:
     • ubuntu: libglut3-dev
   • with
   • glut:
     • ubuntu:
       • lucid:
         • apt:
           • packages: [ libglut3-dev ]
         maverick:
         • apt:
           • packages: [ libglut3-dev ]
         natty:
         • apt:
           • packages: [ libglut3-dev ]
         oneiric:
         • apt:
           • packages: [ freeglut3-dev ]

   rosed kgui rosdep.yaml

4. install depencencies

   rosdep install kgui

5. in file kgui/src/RosGlobals.h, replace void Publish(const ros::Message& _msg) with void Publish(const rosMessage& _msg), then add template <typename rosMessage >above it.
