Kinect/PS with OpenNI 2

Hi, I think the hardware sensor doesn't matter, as far as it is supported by OpenNI2 and NiTE2. That's why it is recommended to try it first with the OpenNI2 & NiTE2 samples.

 

Hi, OK. I'll try to help you as far as I can, but please mind I'm not an expert in Linux. Have you built the UnityInterface2-library for Linux? I mean, this library here: https://github.com/rfilkov/OpenNi2UnityInterface

 

Update.
Elsewhere on the web I was told it needs to be model 1414.
I have sent off for one from Ebay but not tried it yet.

 

Hey there.. i would like to know whether the pull and push gesture working or not?

I try test them using the sample provided ( edit the sample code ) but it seem unable to detect both gesture...

Anyone else got use this 2 gesture?

 

Hi Roumenf,

I installed both nite2 and openni from the link, and i'm using unity 5.5. I tested on windows 10 home (64bit) using kinect 2, and run the avatar demo, but I get:

Error initing OpenNI: DeviceOpen using default: no devices found

Any advice would be greatly appreciated - tried searching online to no avail

Thanks,
Shaun

 

Hi Shaun, not sure if you asked it, but I answered the same question on my blog today. Here is a link to it, not to repeat myself: https://rfilkov.com/2013/12/16/kinectps-with-openni-2/comment-page-1/#comment-3588

 

oh wow, all this time didnt know you replied, so with this i should be able to run your kinect package in linux? that would be awesome

 

Hi there,
i can confirm that this still works under MacOs Sierra with Unity 5.4.

Strangely enough the terminal command "freenect-glview" only results in:
Kinect camera test

Number of devices found: 1

Failed to open motor subddevice or it is not disabled.Failed to open audio subdevice or it is not disabled.Could not open device


This is a XBOX360 Kinect. Works in Unity with your project though???!!!

And i also got the crash after stopping game mode. Didn't´t try a build.


For folks trying this on newer machines (this is a MacBook Pro 2011, 17#) Kinects V1 ONLY work on USB 2!!!
Newer MacBooks have only USB3 and thats a no go.

Besides: I guess its normal that input comes somewhat delayed and is not precise at all? At work we have a V2 which should do much better, but since i only have Mac i have to experiment with the old stuff.

PS: Were available i looked for distributions concerning sierra!

 

Will this work with a sensor that is OpenNI compatible but not a Kinect? For example, the Orbecc Astra/Astra Pro?

 

It should work. Otherwise I don't see much sense to use OpenNI2/NiTE2, instead of a device-specific platform.
