Detailed explanation of examples of developing Kinect somatosensory games using HTML5

1. Introduction

What kind of game are we going to make?

At the Chengdu TGC2016 exhibition not long ago, we developed a somatosensory game of "Naruto Mobile Game", which mainly simulates the mobile game chapter "Nine-Tails Attack". The user becomes the fourth generation and competes with the Nine-Tails. The duel attracted a large number of players to participate. On the surface, this game is no different from other somatosensory experiences. In fact, it has been running under the browser Chrome. In other words, we only need to master the corresponding front-end technology to develop a web based somatosensory game based on Kinect.

2. Implementation Principle

What is the implementation idea?

Use H5 to develop Kinect-based somatosensory games. In fact, the working principle is very simple. Kinect collects player and environmental data, such as human bones, and uses a certain method to allow the browser to access these data.

1. Collect data

Kinect has three lenses. The middle lens is similar to an ordinary camera and acquires color images. The left and right lenses obtain depth data through infrared rays. We use the SDK provided by Microsoft to read the following types of data:

• Color data: color image;

• Depth data: color try information;

• Human skeleton data: Based on calculations based on the above data, human skeleton data is obtained.

2. Make the browser accessible to Kinect data

The framework I have tried and understood basically uses sockets to allow the browser process to communicate with the server. For data transmission:

• Kinect-HTML5 Use C# to build the server, color data, trial data, and bone data are all provided;

• ZigFu Supports H5, U3D, and Flash development. The API is relatively complete and seems to be charged;

• DepthJS provides data access in the form of browser plug-ins;

• Node-Kinect2 uses Nodejs to build the server side, providing relatively complete data and many examples.

I finally chose Node-Kinect2. Although there is no documentation, there are many examples. It uses Nodejs, which is familiar to front-end engineers. In addition, the author's feedback is relatively fast.

• Kinect: Capture player data, such as depth images, color images, etc.;

• Node-Kinect2 : Get the corresponding data from Kinect and perform secondary processing;

• Browser: Listen to the node application specified interface , obtain player data and complete game development.

3. Preparation

You must first buy a Kinect

1. System requirements:

This is a hard requirement. I have wasted too much time in an environment that did not meet the requirements.

• USB3.0

• Graphics card that supports DX11

• win8 and above systems

• Browser that supports Web Sockets

• Of course the Kinect v2 sensor is indispensable

2. Environment setup Process:

1. Connect to Kinect v2

2. ##Installation KinectSDK-v2.0

3. Install Nodejs

4. Install Node-Kinect2

npm install kinect2

4. Example Demonstration

Nothing is better than giving me an example!

As shown in the figure below, we demonstrate how to obtain human bones and identify the middle segment of the spine and

gestures:

1. Server side

Create a web server and send the skeleton data to the browser. The code is as follows:

var Kinect2 = require('../../lib/kinect2'),
	express = require('express'),
	app = express(),
	server = require('http').createServer(app),
	io = require('socket.io').listen(server);

var kinect = new Kinect2();
// 打开kinect
if(kinect.open()) {
	// 监听8000端口
	server.listen(8000);
	// 指定请求指向根目录
	app.get('/', function(req, res) {
		res.sendFile(dirname + '/public/index.html');
	});
	// 将骨骼数据发送给浏览器端
	kinect.on('bodyFrame', function(bodyFrame){
		io.sockets.emit('bodyFrame', bodyFrame);
	});
	// 开始读取骨骼数据
	kinect.openBodyReader();
}

2. Browser side

Browser side Obtain the bone data and draw it with

canvas. The key code is as follows:

var socket = io.connect('/');
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
socket.on('bodyFrame', function(bodyFrame){
	ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
	var index = 0;
	// 遍历所有骨骼数据
	bodyFrame.bodies.forEach(function(body){
		if(body.tracked) {
			for(var jointType in body.joints) {
				var joint = body.joints[jointType];
				ctx.fillStyle = colors[index];
				// 如果骨骼节点为脊椎中点
				if(jointType == 1) {
					ctx.fillStyle = colors[2];
				}
				ctx.fillRect(joint.depthX * 512, joint.depthY * 424, 10, 10);
			}
			// 识别左右手手势
			updateHandState(body.leftHandState, body.joints[7]);
			updateHandState(body.rightHandState, body.joints[11]);
			index++;
		}
	});
});

With a few simple lines of code, we have completed the capture of the player's bones, with a certain

javascript Basic students should be able to understand it easily, but what they don’t understand is what data can we obtain? How to get it? What are the names of bone nodes? There is no documentation for node-kienct2 telling us this.

5. Development documentation

Node-Kinect2 does not provide documentation. I have compiled the documentation of my test summary as follows:

1. Server side

kinect.on('bodyFrame', function(bodyFrame){}); //还有哪些数据类型呢？

六、实战总结

火影体感游戏经验总结

接下来，我总结一下TGC2016《火影忍者手游》的体感游戏开发中碰到的一些问题。

1、讲解之前，我们首先需要了解下游戏流程。

1.1、通过手势触发开始游戏	1.2、玩家化身四代，左右跑动躲避九尾攻击
1.3、摆出手势“奥义”，触发四代大招	1.4、用户扫描二维码获取自己现场照片

2、服务器端

游戏需要玩家骨骼数据（移动、手势），彩色图像数据（某一手势下触发拍照），所以我们需要向客户端发送这两部分数据。值得注意的是，彩色图像数据体积过大，需要进行压缩。

var emitColorFrame = false;
io.sockets.on('connection', function (socket){
	socket.on('startColorFrame', function(data){
		emitColorFrame = true;
	});	
});
kinect.on('multiSourceFrame', function(frame){

	// 发送玩家骨骼数据
	io.sockets.emit('bodyFrame', frame.body);

	// 玩家拍照
	if(emitColorFrame) {
		var compression = 1;
		var origWidth = 1920;
		var origHeight = 1080;
		var origLength = 4 * origWidth * origHeight;
		var compressedWidth = origWidth / compression;
		var compressedHeight = origHeight / compression;
		var resizedLength = 4 * compressedWidth * compressedHeight;
		var resizedBuffer = new Buffer(resizedLength);
		// ...
		// 照片数据过大，需要压缩提高传输性能
		zlib.deflate(resizedBuffer, function(err, result){
			if(!err) {
				var buffer = result.toString('base64');
				io.sockets.emit('colorFrame', buffer);
			}
		});			
		emitColorFrame = false;
	}
});
kinect.openMultiSourceReader({
	frameTypes: Kinect2.FrameType.body | Kinect2.FrameType.color
});

 

3、客户端

客户端业务逻辑较复杂，我们提取关键步骤进行讲解。

3.1、用户拍照时，由于处理的数据比较大，为防止页面出现卡顿，我们需要使用web worker

(function(){
    importScripts('pako.inflate.min.js'); 

    var imageData;
    function init() {
        addEventListener('message', function (event) {
            switch (event.data.message) {
                case "setImageData":
                    imageData = event.data.imageData;
                    break;
                case "processImageData":
                    processImageData(event.data.imageBuffer);
                    break;
            }
        });
    }
    function processImageData(compressedData) {
        var imageBuffer = pako.inflate(atob(compressedData));
        var pixelArray = imageData.data;
        var newPixelData = new Uint8Array(imageBuffer);
        var imageDataSize = imageData.data.length;
        for (var i = 0; i <p> </p><p>3.2、接投影仪后，如果渲染面积比较大，会出现白屏，需要关闭浏览器硬件加速。</p><p><img  src="/static/imghwm/default1.png" data-src="https://img.php.cn/upload/article/000/000/164/55e9bb1cf1f2382df0c6f6588e25e5e3-6.png?x-oss-process=image/resize,p_40" class="lazy" alt="Detailed explanation of examples of developing Kinect somatosensory games using HTML5" ></p><p>3.3、现场光线较暗，其它玩家干扰，在追踪玩家运动轨迹的过程中，可能会出现抖动的情况，我们需要去除干扰数据。（当突然出现很大位移时，需要将数据移除）</p><pre class="brush:php;toolbar:false">var tracks = this.tracks;
var len = tracks.length;

// 数据过滤
if(tracks[len-1] !== window.undefined) {
	if(Math.abs(n - tracks[len-1]) > 0.2) {
		return;
	}
}
this.tracks.push(n);

 

3.4、当玩家站立，只是左右少量晃动时，我们认为玩家是站立状态。

// 保留5个数据
if(this.tracks.length > 5) {
	this.tracks.shift();
} else {
	return;
}

// 位移总量
var dis = 0;
for(var i = 1; i  this.tracks[3]) {
		this.turnRight();
	} else {
		this.turnLeft();
	}
	this.run();
}

 

七、展望

1、使用HTML5开发Kinect体感游戏，降低了技术门槛，前端工程师可以轻松的开发体感游戏；

2、大量的框架可以应用，比如用JQuery、CreateJS、Three.js（三种不同渲染方式）；

3、无限想象空间，试想下体感游戏结合webAR，结合webAudio、结合移动设备，太可以挖掘的东西了……想想都激动不是么！
