12.1: What is the Kinect? – Kinect and Processing Tutorial

[ad_1]
In this video I discuss how to get started working with the Microsoft Kinect in Processing using the Open Kinect for Processing library. I look at the different versions of the kinect — 1414, 1473, v1 vs v2, and discuss in basic terms how the kinect itself works. I discuss how the kinect works in the context of computer vision applications.

All examples:

    [Freenect2DeviceImpl] failed to open Kinect v2 @1:18!

    This happens to me under Windows 10. I can use my Kinect just fine with the official SDK, but I can't for the life of me get this tutorial to work in 2017.

    Hi Daniel, I am curious if there is a an open kinect for processing skeleton example for mac? Is it only for pc?

    Has anyone figured out a good way to make the Kinect v2 a shorter cable? It is pretty long with a bunch of weird adapters. Would be handy for so many reasons to make it shorter and more universal.

    Anyone seen of, crafted, or heard of a better way?

    can we have the code that you used to get these 4 images together? … thank you

    does anyone know a way to reveal another image under what the kinect V2 sees?

    Hey man awesome video great job, keep up the great work! I have become super interested in depth camera applications recently, I have a 1414 model and one of the v2. I'll have to take a look at your github I'll definately be looking through the rest of your videos. Writing a custom mocap application would be awesome.

    Can anyone advise what hardware I need to connect the Kinect v2 to my macbook pro? The Kinect I bought appears to have the USB 3 Type-B connection, and all the adaptors I have found seem to be for P.C. only… Any help would be very much appreciated!

    Is it possible to find an alternative to SimpleOpenNi? I've spent hours looking but I really want to find something I can use for motion capture data…

    So the new Kinect does it like radar. Those waves also travel (near) to the speed of light.

    Hi, i want to know if it is possible to use Depth information to erase background from the Registered Image from kinect v2.

    Are there extra steps to installing the openkinect library other than doing it through the Processing software? When I run an example code I get an error: A library relies on native code that's not available.
    Or only works properly when the sketch is run as a 64-bit application.

    Hello Daniel. Thank you very much for all these very interesting videos.

    Do you also use the Kinect for the green background subtraction (I think this is called ChromaKey?).

    I came here because I'm wondering how Hawk-Eye in Tennis works.
    Looks like a good tutorial for dummy.

    Hello everybody! I just bought a kinect 2 and an expresscard-usb3 adaptator to be able to plug it on my computer… So I went to download the drivers and now I realise that it's made only for Windows 8 and above! Does someone have been in the same situation and find a solution to install it on Windows 7? I realy don't want to upgrade my Window's version… Thanks!

    Hi! I've been testing this library with the Kinect v1 and my Macbook, and it has worked well with it. However, as I got my Kinect v2 and the adapter for it, I can't seem to get it work. The code is fine but all I get is a black screen. The Kinect's Xbox light is not turning on. Is this a common problem or am I just missing something out? The Kinect should work okay and as far as I know, my Macbook does have USB3 ports. Thanks!

    If I have ubuntu linux, this library I can do? or do I have to install more. . I was trying and so far did not work

    Hi Daniel! How are you? I need to do a transforming mirror, and I will work with kinect 1473 and processing 2.2.1 . Specifically you would need to capture the skeleton of the user, any recommendations? I was told to try the library simple open ni , but when I test one of the examples (User) processing window just looks white , ie not shoot me error.

    PS: Sorry if this poorly expressed , use the translator because I do not speak English .

    From already thank you very much

    Hi,daniel, im going to buy a kinect now, and i guess mac will work with kinect v2 ? Because i have done some kinect hacking things with my mac before, will that influence the performance of the version 2 in the future?

    After searching for almost a month with no use for Kinect V2 Tutorials that cover basics as i am totally new to Kinect development. I came upon this video and its for Java and i am working with C# and WPF. :/
