Intrael is a small app server that provides a solid HTTP interface to the MS kinect. It processes the depth data coming from the device, tracks objects and provides several of their properties to network clients. The raw outputs from the cameras are also provided as JPEG images or MJPEG video streams. Using nothing more than plain AJAX, computer vision can now be performed directly and efficiently in the browser. From smart security cameras to all kinds of interactive surfaces, a multitude of new possibilities opens up for web development. The input process itself becomes an art. The code is very efficient, highly portable and licenced as free software. Feel free to contact the author for any inquiries

After running the server there won't be any output on the command line. Just point your browser to http://test.intrael.com and test it

Version 1.1 released with various fixes, capabilities checking and Server Sent Events. This last one allows for true streaming of the JSON data and you can enable it by providing a -m 7 on the startup command line flags. All the examples have been updated to allow for transparent handling of the method selected. Unfortunately as no browser allows cross origin SSE yet(patches are in though) you'll have to disable CORS checking on your browser to use it. For chrome you'll need the command line flag --disable-web-security.
