A few questions about Nuitrack (I choose a tool for my tasks)

Hello! I have some questions about Nuitrack. I want to know how well your product fits my needs. Currently, I am working on creating interactive installations where event attendees can interact with content displayed on an LED screen using either a camera, Kinect, or lidar as a tracking sensor. I also want to incorporate this interaction into choreographic performances. We have already had experience using the Lumoplay service (with subscription access) and the Kinect v2. We have a lot of complaints about this option, although we have managed to achieve a positive result. Therefore, we are currently considering various options, such as using subscription tracking services like Nutrack in conjunction with a game engine, as well as adapting Touchdesigner projects to our requirements.

One of the questions I have before purchasing a Nuitrack subscription is whether you have any ready-made applications (game-based or simply interactive with textures, particles, and plasma) that can be used immediately without the need for Unreal Engine or similar game engines. We don’t have a dedicated programmer or game developer on our team, so having ready-made applications would be incredibly helpful! Additionally, I’m curious about the branding of content (logo integration, slogans). Lumoplay had an application builder, but we had several concerns regarding its usability and stability.

Second question: what exactly model of kinect (or other sensor for tracking movement) You would recommend - from the calculation of the stability of work, the possibility of location remotely from the computer?

And the last question is about facial animation tracking in Nuitrack. How is it going? We could use this feature to create a virtual host.

Hello @beduin2015

Sorry for the delay.

Nutrack only works with 3D sensors. You can see a list of supported and recommended sensors here: Notion.

We do not have a ready-made application for UE5, but we do have:

  • blueprint support,
  • samples/tutorials (metahuman, niagara, avatar animation).samples/tutorials (metahuman, niagara, avatar animation).

We also have a plugin for TD, but it is currently undergoing reworking/stabilization.
