1. People Detection

Used Kinect to track people from above.

Used depth thresholds to set a range of heights
Calculated and displayed centroids of contour blobs
- Reference: https://forum.openframeworks.cc/t/finding-center-of-opencv-blobs/11836/8

2. Clock Mechanism

Display real-time clock.

Smoothed the movement of the second hand by using the frame rate

3. Shadow Effects

Turn contour into filled shape (then found just use blob will be easier)
Draw the shape in Fbo (pixel)
Manipulate pixel by Dilate, medianBlur, then blur.
Draw to texture and draw the Fbo out
