Tryplex Kinect Toolkit NI mate quick fix for Quartz Composer
For people who want to play around with NI mate and QC/tryplex, there's a quick fix. It supports one user only. We're currently adapting the full tryplex package to NI mate, so this for testing purposes only. Find it under the downloads.

This is the 0.222 version of the tryplex toolkit.
The tryplex toolkit is a set of macro patches for Quartz Composer that makes Kinect skeleton tracking more accessible. All patches are open source. A lot of samples are provided, as well as a puppet-tool and a skeleton recorder.

Please share your results!

NEW

Synapse support (http://synapsekinect.tumblr.com) Gives the ability to track one skeleton and show the depth image.

• Added Synapse 1.1 to the package
• Macro patch '01s_Kinect Skeleton Synapse to SkeletonStruct' gets and tranlates OSC data from Synapse to Tryplex.
• Macro patch '01s_Kinect Skeleton Synapse settings' keeps the Synapse OSC connection alive, and lets you adjust the depth image settings.
• Macro patch '01s_Kinect Skeleton World coordinate', get's the realworld coordinates measured in millimeters from the sensor.
• Added 'macros sample compositions Synapse' folder with Sample patches for Synapse.
• Included all QC plug-ins needed for Tryplex.
• Bugfix in the skeleton recorder
• Added a universal build of the Synapse kinect plugin
• Added qcOSC 0.6

UPGRADING

If you have an existing 0.21 installation you can maintain your current setup. Only add the macro's '01s_Kinect Skeleton Synapse to SkeletonStruct', '01s_Kinect Skeleton Synapse settings' and '01s_Kinect Skeleton World coordinate' to your /library/graphics/Quartz Composer Patches/ folder, and install the Synapse Kinect plug-in from QC Plug-ins/Quartz Composer Plug-Ins in the Quartz Composer Plug-Ins folder in Library/Graphics/ folder. Replace the skeleton recorder with this version.

If you already used Synapse; the Max patch is not needed to use Synapse in QC with Tryplex.
