DepthJS is a browser extension and native plugin (primarily for Chrome) that lets any web page interact with the Microsoft Kinect via JavaScript. It exposes raw Kinect depth/RGB data plus high-level hand gesture events like wave, push, and circle.
Use cases
- control web pages with Kinect hand gestures
- access Kinect depth map from JavaScript
- build gesture-driven web demos
- track hands in the browser using a Kinect
- add motion-based interaction to websites
When to choose
- you have an old Kinect and want browser-based gesture interaction
- you're researching legacy Kinect-to-browser integration approaches
When to avoid
- you need modern browser support (NPAPI is deprecated)
- you're starting a new gesture project - use WebXR, MediaPipe, or modern depth cameras instead
- you need maintained software - the last release was April 2013
