Internship
My internships started for 2 days already
Its been relatively interesting so far.
First day I spent my time learning up OpenCV and I came to find that its really quite a powerful library.....
IF YOU KNOW IT ..
Which I dont, so its pretty much useless for me lol.
Its similar to OpenGL in some areas, but on the whole its a whole different ball game,
Both have different uses.
One is for graphics, the other is for vision.

My desk with the most expensive computer I used in my life.
Valued to be worth around 5k.
With a server CPU and workstation graphics, this puts my home computer to shame
Part of my current task requires knowledge on how to "hack" the Kinect.
In order to do that, I had to follow some instructions which were in........
Chinese!
YES CHINESE.... TRADITIONAL CHINESE....
Wth!!!
It took Google translate and various online English tutorials to cross reference everything and get the initial set up running
The wonderful chinese manual
Guess whos that?
It was me! The image is the IR image picked up by the kinect
That was some pretty amazing stuff going on man. Amazing is short for - Impossible!
Thats me and a "basic skeletal" structure being tracked by the system.
I had no part in programming this software. It is opensource and the OpenNI provided these examples.
Actually I also found another cooler program and was playing with it for a while.
Too bad that I didnt quite video myself down.
maybe Ill do it tomorrow ... hmm..
