Is there an easy(ier) way to work with skeleton tracking? I have an iPad on a stand and I am the model most of the time. I can't stand in front of the camera and see what's on the iPad. I don't think I can use the front camera for tracking. My wife is getting very tired of "Honey, can you come here a minute?"
How is this supposed to work?
iOS SDK provides the building blocks, we have to build the solutions.
I too am working on a body tracking app (and I've released an open source lib for recording and playback https://github.com/deeje/AVBody )
And I think the solution is to build a companion watch app, a la Camera.app, that shows a slow frame rate video feed, and buttons to start/stop recording.
fwiw
