Prototype Deployment – Indiana University

Dr. Joshua Danish and the Learning Sciences program at Indiana University are now using OpenPTrack to develop Cyberlearning tools with elementary school students at a Bloomington area school. The Indiana installation is supporting a thread of the NSF-funded Science Through Technology Enhanced Play (STEP) project, led by Dr. Noel Enyedy of […]


Kinect2 Support

Support for the Microsoft Kinect2, which will provide enhanced range and accuracy, is now in testing at UCLA! The detection code leverages GPU processing to handle the higher resolution RGBD images.

Prototype Deployment – Interpretive Media Laboratory

UCLA REMAP is now testing OpenPTrack as a primary interface for body-based interaction with interpretive media content for the Welcome Pavilion at the new Los Angeles State Historic Park (LASHP). A full-sized mockup of the Pavilion (to be completed with the new Park in 2015) is installed at the nearby space […]


Prototype Deployment – UCLA Lab School

In September 2014, a prototype deployment of OpenPTrack was installed semi-permanently in UCLA Lab School’s Gregg G. Juárez Community Hall, using seven Kinect 1, one stereo camera pair, and two Mesa SwissRanger 4500 imagers. The installation will support the NSF-funded Science Through Technology Enhanced Play (STEP) project, creating a physically interactive educational […]


Welcome to OpenPTrack!

The OpenPTrack project was kicked off in the Winter of 2013 to provide an open source solution for scalable, multi-imager person tracking, aimed to support applications in education, arts and culture. An alpha version of the code is currently available in our GitHub repository and supports multi-imager tracking using the […]
