Sprint 1 Retrospective SIP Objective: Project No-Xclude

reworks the Kinect’s motion algorithm for accurate recognition of players in a seated position.

Sprint Objective: To sketch out several of the positions that the finished project will be able to accommodate. This will provide perspective and guide specific areas of further research (i.e. pathfinding).

Position 1: Stationary

Position 2: Side Bend

Position 3: Forward Bend

Position 4: Punching

Six Thinking Hats Analysis Red Hat– I feel the project is making satisfactory progress; some of the major positions that the final algorithm will support have been determined Green Hat – One of the things I will attempt to do to stabilize

the skeletal image is to speed up the frame rate of the program

Yellow Hat – I got some experience using the skeletal viewer example program; it allowed me to identify the interference that may be causing recognition problems

Black Hat –2D graphics programs do not accurately represent the ideal positions (or I don’t have the graph knowledge to do so)

Blue Hat – I spent too much time trying to get the graphics to show what they needed to; perhaps next time I’ll call in some help with that part (or consult some books if absolutely necessary)
