Hello, this is really great stuff! Thank you for this detailed, yet easy to follow tutorial!

I'm still sort of new to these stuff, but just wondering if it is possible to follow through without having to use Kinect? A webcam perhaps?

Can I do this with Kinect 1? What should I change in the parameters? Kinect CHOP or TOP

Hello! I am very happy that I am able to complete this tutorial but using a kinect I use the laptop webcam with a mediapipe and it works great. Only thing is that the coordinates of the hand only move the -x-y axis, is not centered and when the value reaches 0, i don't know if I explained myself but can you please let me know how to make the xy axis work at all the coordinates moving the hand from the center of the webcam to all the possible parameter of the screen? thank you!

Hello! I'm Korean Uni student, I really appreciate to your video. It is super helpful for me. But I wonder if I use some video instead of Kinect TOP(by web camera), how can I connect video's person's hand with particle system?

Can I use this over found videos or footage I’ve shot?

Does anyone know if there is a way to run the microsoft kinetc sdk on mac like with WineBottler anything similar? I have a PC for my media server that is running windows 10 as well I would just prefer to have the ability to use it with my laptop which is a mac.
