SewKinect
=========
SewKinect was inspired by an absense of basic pattern generation software for sewers. Pattern drafting is key to custom-fit garments and costumes and relies on a geometric understanding three-dimensional body curves. Traditionally, patterns are drafted for individuals on paper at full scale, a huge inconvenience of time and space. SewKinect aims to streamline bespoke pattern development by creating a digital pipeline from measurements to printable pdf slopers.

###Video Demo

SewKinect consists of a Kinect/PyGame app and a Flask application. The Kinect app posts scan data to the Flask server. SewKinect was developed on OSX 10.9 and the technology required is as follows:

- libusb
- libfreenect
- OpenNI
- SensorKinect
- NITE
- PyOpenNI
- Flask
- Jinja2
- PyCairo
- Numpy
- Scipy

Also relies on default Python libraries listed below:

- httplib
- urllib
- json
- math
- pickle
- base64
- datetime

Kinect Install Instructions

###Important Directory Contents: 
- /app.py - main Flask applicaiton
- /calculations.py - Kinect point cloud processing 
- /drafting.py - Cairo pattern drafting instructions 
- /kinect/kinect_obj.py - Kinect application
- /kinect/ - also contains pickled Kinect data for proofing if a Kinect is not available
- /static/JSON/ - standard US pattern sizes in JSON format
- /static/patterns/ - PDF pattens are stored here

In order to get accurate measurements from the Kinect, users should stand ~5ft away from the camera with a clear foreground. Wearing tight clothing that constrasts the background also helps.
