Sorry the website was down for a few weeks. It’s because the PPJoy installer I was hosting got detected as a trojan by my hosting company, so my websites got shut down. So I will no longer be hosting that file. Don’t worry, all the old versions of PPJoy don’t have that problem, just the new one. I also didn’t have internet access for a few weeks while I moved house (I still don’t have proper internet access, my computer is currently plugged into my mobile phone and using my small mobile quota).

There still seem to be problems with the forum, I don’t have a clue what’s going on with that.

Playstation Move is out now, and Kinect (Project Natal) is out in some countries, but not in mine.
My unreleased development version of GlovePIE is reading both the Move and the Navigation Controller here perfectly, as well as doing other things like emulating an Xbox 360 controller. The Move works a lot better than the Wii Remote for orientation and acceleration tracking, since it has a compass, and it’s gyros seem to work better than Wii Motion Plus. I haven’t got the Move’s position tracking via the Playstation Eye working yet, but it’s on its way.

I’m also working on the open source project MoveOnPC.

I don’t have a Kinect until the 18th of November, so I haven’t added support for it yet. But I have been participating in the Open Kinect open source project. And Kinect IS working on the PC (except the audio)! There’s no skeleton tracking yet, since that is done in software on the Xbox 360, and it will take quite a while to write our own software for that. But we can read the 640×480/bayer colour camera and the 640×480 x 11 bit depth camera, at 30 fps. And we can control the Kinect’s motor to move it up and down, and we can change the LED colour. And we can read the accelerometers. Yes Kinect has accelerometers just like a Wii Remote!

So, expect to be using both Playstation Move, and Microsoft Kinect on your PC very soon, and stay tuned.

  1. This is awesome, just what I was hoping for, and somehow I knew it would come from you xD, How’d you get it working so quickly??

  2. Hello, a have a bug. The wiimote speaker does not work in any verson above 0.29. It would be great if you cound get that working again. My wiimote alarm clock is completly writen in glovepie, and im writeing a newer version, but it needs the wiimote speaker ( to wake you up, duh) and some of the fetures that are only in higher versions.

    Thanks in advance, and by the way, wanna see the script?

  3. Glad to see you are still in the world of the living! We all have missed you (and GlovePIE). I look forward to your updates to GlovePIE, and would gladly send a donation or two your way.

  4. You are my hero!!

  5. Any newer updates Carl? I have a Kinect and FAAST (http://people.ict.usc.edu/~suma/faast/) which is a decent program but I still can’t wait for Glovepie to finally support Kinect. Please update us if there is any developments :)

  6. Perhaps you could incorporate OpenCV into GlovePIE? (i imagine it could work kinda like how it does with C, Python etc, with whatever chages would be needed to best suit the PIE language)

  7. Is there a way to improve the accuracy by training your voice for speech recognition? Any other tips to improve accuracy?

  8. Really love everything you’re doing Carl. The applications of GlovePIE for people with disabilities is amazing.

    Looking forward to using the Move controller with my PC.

    Keep up the good work :) .

  9. Hey man,when will be released the new version with Kinect support?
    Please answer =)
    Cheeres

  10. C´mon my friend post that improved Glovepie, Ur binding master. Already using Kinect with FAAST.I´m sure you can do better than that!

  11. Is your project dead?
    I want to ask if you can support the new RemotePlus ?
    It has an integrated MotionPlus but GlovePIE doesn’t recognize it. :(

    And is it possible to overwrite the xinput?

  12. Hi there, I’m starting a project using :
    PS3 Move controller + PS3 Eyecam +CTA Assault Rifle connected to a computer and transfer all the signals to a XIM1 for playing COD PS3, as the COD does not support PS3 Move.
    I have got the move + cam + xim ready and waiting for the usb Bluetooth receiver and Assult Rifle.
    I did try to transfer signals using the eyecam tracking movements with the program movetracker and did worked, I could move the mouse cursor but the signals did not go to xim device.I have seen on youtube some videos with the wiiremote ( http://www.youtube.com/user/OBsIV?blend=10&ob=5#p/u/0/Rk4WLtuf-ME ).Any idea.
    Many thanks

  13. Hi,
    I have been waiting too long for Kinect and Move support in Glovepie. Please post the link to the new version.

  14. Quote “So, expect to be using both Playstation Move, and Microsoft Kinect on your PC very soon, and stay tuned.”
