Screensaver

As the installation won't be constantly in use, the idea came up to create some sort of a screensaver or a demo to show all the features of Stellarium and things to show. For this, a Processing sketch was created, that controls Stellarium to randomly activate different visuals while flying through the star field.
Here's a demonstration of the screensaver:
(unfortunately it runs fairly laggy, as the screen recording required quite a lot of calculation power)



The code of that processing sketch will be integrated in the sketch interpreting and translating the Kinect input to control Stellarium. When no user was recognized for a certain amount of time, the controls (simulated key press functions) will change to the screensaver until a new user enters the installation.
