Firefly Kinect 0.0002 Now Available

I'm happy to announce a Firefly update for the Microsoft Kinect.  This update has been released to be compatible with the official Microsoft SDK (beta 2) release November 1st, 2011. A major improvement in this build is that the SDK  now allows 32-bit and 64-bit target applications... meaning, the Firefly Kinect Skeleton Tracker will now work on either version (32-bit or 64-bit) of Rhino 5.0.  The official SDK also has many new improvements regarding skeleton tracking, including improved speed (approximately 20% faster) and greater accuracy with joint positioning.  The Firefly Kinect Skeleton Tracking component also takes advantage of the new joint smoothing and prediction features.  Lastly, this release includes a new Grasshopper example file to get you up and running as quickly as possible (a video of this example can be seen here).

You can download the latest build at either location:
