If you are using this Kinect object from this library:

…then, browsing through the library source, it doesn’t appear to have any such advanced functions – just ways of accessing the underlying freenect object contained inside the Kinect object. I _believe_ that the main way to get such things is to create a point cloud, then derive your data from that cloud.
Or, get a skeleton from SimpleOpenNI and calculate your derived statistics from the skeleton data.

> Maybe someone is interested in the news that I have implemented a basic version of an [Intel RealSense](https://realsense.intel.com/) library for processing. The library basically is a JNI wrapper around the [librealsense2](https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense) framework. [edwinRNDR](https://github.com/edwinRNDR) and I started developing a Java wrapper for the librealsense and I found the time now to add the support to processing. Currently out of the box supported are all major os with x64 (no ARM / x86). I have included the prebuilt binaries to make it very easy to start with the RealSense cam…
