I'm working on an experiment, two kinect's at one time. One of the major problems with a kinect is if you do a full turn and face your back to the kinect camera it loses your hands if your body is blocking the kinect.

So how about two connect facing 180 degrees from each other on two separate computers? Pose in the T position then a quick clap over ones head for a timing mark. Render out the forward and reverse Kinect and cut and paste them in some other program. If you stand with your back to the Kinect and rotate the character 180 degrees DMC will render out a bvh file. I haven't tried two at once, will do soon.

So now the problem is mixing the two files to get the best of both. Any suggestions?

A better timing mark is to set off a photo flashgun

I don't think that will work. Kinect generates IF light and reads the feed back. DMC doesn't even use the regular color camera information.

That's a very good point for the Kinect yes :)
