The famous Spine example raptor, but with a twist.

Ooooh! you're doing some serious stuff here! I love the final result, it looks pretty realistic, I want to ride the raptor too!

I think you just broke the internet. Is that live compositing? Could this be used at events/fairs/etc.?

[rosme]

Yes, it's live compositing. I often use Kinect in combo with video layers (events, museums etc.), but since I also love working with Spine I had to make this. In this case I am sitting on a bar chair with my feet on an old desktop PC. Note that the sideways tracking with Kinect is always a little tricky. The composite could use a little bit better masking and maybe some shadowing. And of course I could use Kinect gesture recognition to trigger the "roar" animation or other fun scenarios.

Genius!
