In this session, we dig deep into body and skeleton tracking using Isadora's OpenNI Tracker actor. You'll learn how to connect your Kinect v1, Orbbec Astra, and Intel Realsense depth cameras so that you can sense the movements of one or more performers. You'll learn how to use the Skeleton Decoder actor to read the individual points of the performer's skeleton and use that data to control video and sound interactively.
