Multithreaded Unity Python MediaPipe Body/Pose

Overview

This is a project that tests Google MediaPipePose inside of Unity using Python bindings. Reading the WebCam and running the model occur on different threads. Basically, it's configurable full body tracking using a WebCam.

Installation

1. Install Python and Unity (2021.3.17f1 was used, but any version close to that should be fine).
2. pip install mediapipe
3. Clone/download this repository.
4. Run main.py using Python.
5. Run the Unity project.
6. Go back to the Unity view to see your body being tracked in real time.

Notes:

• See global_vars.py for some basic configuration options to speed up/improve precision of the detection.
• Wearing clothing that contrasts with a background helps a fair bit.
• The architecture and performance has been greatly improved since my last project where I experimented with MediaPipeHands.
