Body Double looks at various methods of integrating Kinect sensors into interactive installations and performances. Two methods of vision capture are explored : the first dealing with detecting body morphology and the second dedicated to analyzing points in space. A development library already in use by the CityMedia project is used as a starting point. After a brief introduction to the tools, workshop participants built prototypes which were then applied directly onto the City Media system.
