Controls the player's camera based on the player's hand and hand orientation (i.e are they left or right handed), in relation to the "Kinect point" (note the Kinect point will change based on hand orientation to either the left or right side of the player respectively) which is a pre-defined point in 3D space (positioned just under the left or right shoulder, where the player generally finds it most comfortable to position their hand).

void	Start ()
	Initialises the KinectControl fields.
void	Update ()
	The update loop for the KinectControl tracks the players hand, and updates the player's camera and rotation accordingly.
void	positionKinectRig ()
	Positions the kinect rig in the optimum position (dependant on which hand orientation is being used).
void	calculateHandDisplacement (Vector3 _handPoint)
	Calculates the hand displacement from the Kinect point and the hand point within screen space (for player rotations).
void	calculateCamPitch (GameObject _playerCam)
	Calculates the camera pitch dependent on the y-axis position of the hand (the amount it is displaced from the Kinect point).
void	calculatePlayerYaw (GameObject _player)
	Calculates the players yaw (it's y-rotation) dependant on the player's hand displacement from the Kinect Point in the x-axis. I.e. if the player's hand is right of the kinect point the entire player (i.e. camera, items, such as gun) will rotate clockwise.
void	calculateCamRoll (GameObject _playerCam)
	Calculates the cameras roll (aka the player's lean left or right) dependant on the rotation of the player's head. I.e. if the player leans left (or even simply leans their head to the left the camera, will tilt/roll to the left).
void	OnTriggerEnter (Collider _colObject)
	Checks if the players hand has entered the pickup space. The pickup space is a box collider in front of the player, once the player reaches (and collides) with the box the player can pick up an object or use (for instance open a door) an element within the game.
void	OnTriggerExit (Collider _colObject)
	Checks if the players hand has left the pickup space, in which case they will not be able to pick up an item or use a door (as their hand is not far enough forward, i.e. it is outside the pick up space).
float	getHandPointX ()
	Gets the player's hand in the x-axis.
float	getHandPointY ()
	Gets the player's hand in the y-axis.
bool	getIsInPickupSpace ()
	Gets if the player's hand is within the pickup space or not.

void KinectControl::calculateCamPitch ( GameObject _playerCam ) [inline]

Calculates the camera pitch dependent on the y-axis position of the hand (the amount it is displaced from the Kinect point).

Parameters:

[in] _playerCam The camera (the player's first-person viewpoint) to pitch up or down.

void KinectControl::calculateCamRoll ( GameObject _playerCam ) [inline]

Calculates the cameras roll (aka the player's lean left or right) dependant on the rotation of the player's head. I.e. if the player leans left (or even simply leans their head to the left the camera, will tilt/roll to the left).

Parameters:

[in] _playerCam The player's camera to roll.

void KinectControl::calculateHandDisplacement ( Vector3 _handPoint ) [inline]

Calculates the hand displacement from the Kinect point and the hand point within screen space (for player rotations).

Parameters:

[in] _handPoint The hand point to check displacement against.

void KinectControl::calculatePlayerYaw ( GameObject _player ) [inline]

Calculates the players yaw (it's y-rotation) dependant on the player's hand displacement from the Kinect Point in the x-axis. I.e. if the player's hand is right of the kinect point the entire player (i.e. camera, items, such as gun) will rotate clockwise.

Parameters:

[in] _player The player object to rotate.

float KinectControl::getHandPointX ( ) [inline]

Gets the player's hand in the x-axis.

Returns:: m_handPointX Returns the player's hand position in the x-axis.

float KinectControl::getHandPointY ( ) [inline]

Gets the player's hand in the y-axis.

Returns:: m_handPointY Returns the player's hand position in the y-axis.

bool KinectControl::getIsInPickupSpace ( ) [inline]

Gets if the player's hand is within the pickup space or not.

Returns:: m_isInPickupSpace Returns if the player's hand is within the pickup space or not.,

void KinectControl::OnTriggerEnter ( Collider _colObject ) [inline]

Checks if the players hand has entered the pickup space. The pickup space is a box collider in front of the player, once the player reaches (and collides) with the box the player can pick up an object or use (for instance open a door) an element within the game.

Parameters:

[in] _colObject The object colliding with the pickup space box collider.

void KinectControl::OnTriggerExit ( Collider _colObject ) [inline]

Checks if the players hand has left the pickup space, in which case they will not be able to pick up an item or use a door (as their hand is not far enough forward, i.e. it is outside the pick up space).

Parameters:

[in] _colObject The object colliding with the pickup space box collider.
