<aside> 🔴 Summary: 😕 Overall, the majority of this week was spent setting up/familiarising myself with Kinect, playing around with various codes and looking into threejs.

Lots of debugging, mostly around setting up and connecting Kinect to the stream. Some of my peers and I ran into similar issues of not being able to see the stream, or the stream would show up in Kinectron but not through p5js/the code. I played around with some threejs material, but the lagginess of the machine and the unstable Kinect feed made it difficult to fully test out anything. I also struggled to see the connection between the body movements and what was shown on-screen (particularly with the skeleton ribbon)
The sketch I liked the most was from playing around with pixel density and colour range with depth key. I was personally more interested in the key and depth range tests than the full skeletons; there's something interesting in having the body flattened into overlapping pixels, but also becoming three-dimensional through gradients and colour-mapping. I also enjoy this tactile/textile quality that can be produced from playing with pixels.
