DHBR : June 2011

I read the article "Creating Shared Value" on Diamond HBR / June 2011.

Reading document "NITE Controls 1.3 - Programmer's Guide.pdf"

NITE Controls 1.3 - Programmer's Guide.pdf is in
C:\Program Files\Prime Sense\NITE\Documentation.

* Introduction
- What is NITE ?

NITE is a toolbox to allow application to build flows based on the user's hands movement.
The hands movement is understood as gestrures and is tracked, to provide 'hand point'.

* Software Overview

* Programmer Tutorial
- Quick Start


* Session State
- session state flow
-- Not in Session, In Session, Quick Refocus


* Chapter 3 : NITE Controls
- List of controls in NITE
-- Point Controls / Push Detector / Swipe Detector / Steady Detector / Wave Detector /Circle Detector
-- Selectable Slider1D / Selectable Slider2D


* Chpeter 4 : Flow and NITE tree
- 4.1. NITE flow
- 4.2. Flow Objects
- 4.3. NITE tree
- 4.4. List of Flow object
-- Flow Router / Broadcaster / Point Denoiser / Point Area / Virtual Coordinates


* Multi-process / Multi-threaded Support


* Log

Reading document "Prime Sensor NITE 1.3 Alogrithms notes"

"Prime Sensor NITE 1.3 Alogrithms notes" is in 

C:\Program Files\Prime Sense\NITE\Documentation".

* Chapter 1 : special gesture called "focus gestrue"

- click : your palm should be open, fingers pointing up, and face the sensor.

- wave : should consist of at least 5 horizontal movements (left-right or rigth-left)

** output

- Click, Wave, Swipe, Raise hand, 

** status

- Gesture started

- Gesture completed

* Chapter 3 :Skeleton tracking

** calibration

- the user should be facing the sensor with calibration pose.

** output

- The API returns positions and orientations of the skeleton joints.

**Joint transformations defined
