simple head ballin with Kinect

This simple body motion tracking example uses the neck position as a central game element. Through body motion, the user navigates a ball through space with hangings ragdolls, that are flexibly fixed in the space. This creates an unique experience, when the camer view is connected straight through to the balls position.

the basic stage setup. The player spawns around the null position.

keep the inital tracked body visually off – but keep functionallity
