Kinect for all Amiga platforms, a new project

[orb85750]

Kinect uses 10% of xbox 360 cpu power for decode in real time all, you need minimun a ppc603e only for this

Depends exactly how it's done.

The kinect is made for xbox 360 and the drivers and dashboard for kinect are optmized to reach to the maximum speed with the less cpu power possible.
Kinect need about 10% from single xenon cpu (Xenon is a tri-core 6400mips x 3 = 132.000 mips and kinect needs a 10% of a single core from 6400 mips = aprox. 640mips for kinect.
You need to know that kinect use real-time detection for process all frames "onthefly" and of course, need cpu power. I don´t think that any "open source kinect" can be faster or more optimized than the internal drivers made by microsoft (by budget and years of development)

What about a slower frame rate -- i.e. not using all the frames transmitted?  Or a lower resolution?  Impossible?

I was read on other thread about the good health of the atary scene talking about 68k stuff, they enjoy the stuffs they have, and now in the other had is the amiga scene thinking in kinect (for what?) but with the 68k classics living like zombies, theres something worng on this history...

No agressive words just my filosofical reflection of the day.

I'm not sure I understand quite what you're saying?  Plenty of us love our 68K (even plain 68000) machines, but we also don't mind seeing Amiga continue to progress -- even if everyone seems to disagree about how to do it.  Does the Atari scene really have the same degree of enthusiasm (obsession) exhibited by Amiga devotees?

[orb85750]

Yes. Unless by "enthusiasm" you mean "insanity", then the answer is "No". The Atari community in general is a much healthier one, without all the nut cases you find in "our" camp. Ditto for any other retro camp.

Where's the best place to read up on the progress being made with the Atari platform?

[orb85750]

Yes. Unless by "enthusiasm" you mean "insanity", then the answer is "No". The Atari community in general is a much healthier one, without all the nut cases you find in "our" camp. Ditto for any other retro camp.

But Amiga is far from a stagnant platform, so it's not surprising that there are so many very strong opinions on the direction that things should be moving.  If it were all retro-enjoyment, the Amiga forum would be a pretty peaceful place.
