i named this poorly again

A reimplimentation of glitch written in openFrameworks instead of Processing.

It's significantly faster, but that's more because this version uses shaders to compose the effects rather than arrays of RGB values. (For the life of me I can not make sense of Processing's shader API, and I'm okay never knowing.)

Built with Visual Studio 2015.

Setup

Get yourself a camera with a Primesense Carmine (PS1080) SoC (like the Asus Xtion or XBox Kinect) and install OpenNI2 and NiTE2. NiTE2 is tragically proprietary, so it can't be built for targets it doesn't already exist for, like ARM processors.

Copy three external files/folders into the project's bin folder:

• OpenNI2.dll (or libOpenNI2.dylib, etc.) from $openni2_location/Redist
• NiTE2.dll (or libNiTE2.dylib, etc.) from $nite2_location/Redist
• the NiTE2 folder from $nite2_location/Redist/NiTE2

Usage

Starting the app brings up the output window as well as a second smaller window with controls on it for tweaking settings. The control window can be closed without breaking the appm, and all of the controls have their own hotkeys.

Layers

• Show Video (V) Toggles color video stream. When off, the background is black.
• Threshold Video (T) Applies a threshold to the color video to reduce it to single-bit black and white color. Additionally, masks the color stream to only display detected users.
• Show Rainbows (R) Toggles the rainbows. (But why 🌈)
• Show Buffer (B) Instead of displaying the composited video result, display only the contents of the buffer that stores the "glitch" effect.

Levels

• Rainbows (Up Arrow, Down Arrow) adjusts the strength of the rainbow effect.
• Threshold (Left Arrow, Right Arrow) adjusts the threshold boundary.

Misc (these don't have their own GUI controls)

• Fullscreen (F) Toggles the video window in and out of fullscreen.
• Record (Return) Toggles recording frames as bitmaps. Each recording "session" has its own separate folder.
