NuiMotion is Node.js addon to help create "Natural User Interfaces" enabled by motion/depth cameras like the Kinect, Asus Xtion, or Primesense Carmine.

NuiMotion uses OpenNI and NiTE to provide full skeletal tracking and a limited number of gestures (for now) including swipes and waves.

A Javascript SDK is provided to enable a developer to use the library easily and to hide the implementation details of the C++ to Node bridge.

Before checking out this project, you'll need a depth camera. Check out the following list of supported hardware and software setups. Not all have been tested, but in theory should work:

Hardware Support

It might also be wise to get your camera up and running with the installed examples provided by OpenNI/NiTE, however you can jump right in to using NuiMotion.

Basic Usage
