Download Vitruvius for Azure Kinect
Kinect v2 + RealSense + Orbbec
The advanced Vitruvius features are now available for a wide range of cameras, including:
⇒ Intel RealSense D415 & D435
⇒ Orbbec Astra & Astra Pro
⇒ Microsoft Kinect v2
Use your existing knowledge and our unified code API to rule them all!
Avateering
Vitruvius offers the most advanced avateering system out there. Period. Animating 3D models with Kinect, Orbbec, and Intel cameras used to be very hard. Using Vitruvius, you can control any humanoid 3D model using your body with only one line of code. The models will follow the movements of 1-6 people with remarkable accuracy. Vitruvius supports the FBX and OBJ file formats. The packages are bundled with high-quality rigged models plus multiple textures to choose from. You can use the models in your own commercial projects.
model.DoAvateering(body);Maths + Angles + Measurements
Let’s admit it: when dealing with challenging Motion projects, you need to know a lot of Maths. Vitruvius does the Math for you. Simply measure the angle between 3 joints and draw it on a canvas with our handy Arc controls. You can also find the height of the tracked players, the length of a bone, as well as the rotation of a segment in the 3D space. Researchers would love these capabilities! Dealing with real-time measurements and motion tracking has never been easier.
var shoulder = body.Joints[JointType.ShoulderRight].WorldPosition;
var elbow = body.Joints[JointType.ElbowRight].WorldPosition;
var wrist = body.Joints[JointType.WristRight].WorldPosition;
var angle = Calculations.Angle(elbow, shoulder, wrist);
var rotation = Calculations.Rotation(shoulder, elbow, Axis.Z);3D Video Recording & Playback
Vitruvius includes the best 3D video recorder available. Record and Playback the Color, Depth, Infrared, Body, Face, and Floor frames, even without a having a sensor plugged-in! Video playback works just like the live stream. You can store and analyze the Body and Face data easily, jump to the frames of your choice, and use our built-in playback interface!
VideoRecorder.Instance.Start();
VideoRecorder.Instance.Stop();
VideoPlayer.Instance.Start();
VideoPlayer.Instance.Speed = 2f;
VideoPlayer.Instance.Pause();Bitmaps & Green-Screen
Bitmaps are a great way to provide your users with useful feedback. The official middleware gives you the frame data in the form of raw bytes. Vitruvius gives you the corresponding Unity Texture2D objects! Color frames, Depth frames, Infrared frames, and even Green-Screen frames are supported. Need to capture a bitmap and save it as a JPEG or PNG file? You can do it with Vitruvius, too.
Coordinate Mapping
The depth cameras see the world in 3D, but developers visualize the results on 2D monitors. Vitruvius lets you map the real-world coordinates to screen coordinates using two lines of code! Need to convert a point in space to a point in screen? We’ve got you covered. Convert between Vector3D and Vector2D accurately and effortlessly. Our demos include handy controls for displaying the joint points and the human skeleton on top of a Color or Depth frame.
var point3D = body.Joints[JointType.Head].WorldPosition;
var point2D = sensor.WorldToImageSpace(point3D);3D Face
Most depth sensors have no face tracking capabilities. Vitruvius is processing the color and depth frame data and exposes an easy-to-use API for accessing facial points in the 3D and 2D space. Using our brand-new Face detector, you can get the position of more than 68 points in real-time and identify the most important facial features. Everything is exposed as ordinary C# properties. Simply acquire the coordinates of the eyes, brows, nose, mouth, chin, and jaw and create your own next-gen face apps!
var face = body.Face;
var eyeLeft = face.EyeLeft(Space.World);
var eyeRight = face.EyeRight(Space.World);
var nose = face.Nose(Space.World);
var chin = face.Chin(Space.World);
