dp.kinect: external using Microsoft Kinect SDK

by

dp.kinect is a native external for the Kinect which can be used within the Cycling ’74 Max development environment to control and receive data from your Microsoft Kinect.

Full details, beta releases, downloads, etc. are at http://hidale.com/dp-kinect/

  • It is based on the Microsoft Kinect SDK v1.6.
  • It supports multiple Kinects on the same PC.
  • It was developed and tested against Max 6.0.8. It is untested against earlier versions.
  • There are the same inlets and outlets as compared to my other external jit.openni. You can retype dp.kinect in the same max patcher box and quickly migrate to this object.
  • There is good compatibility with the output of the external as compared to my other external jit.openni. All output is supported and should be equivalent except the optional joint rotations are in a new format.
  • Many of the attribute names have changed as compared to jit.openni. However, you will find that there is usually an exact equivalent for an attribute you previously used. This change is intentional.

I didn’t know if it would work on osx.
it doesn’t.
I’d love to test it on osx, btw :)

@Julien, unfortunately, Microsoft does not support Osx with their Microsoft Kinect SDK. Until that happens, it is impossible.
I have written an open source version that could be recompiled for Osx. Details are at http://hidale.com/jit-openni/
All it needs, is a Mac developer to recompile it and address any porting issues.

We have completed a port of jit.openni to OSx. It is available at http://hidale.com/jit-openni/

@Clement, please read the documentation provided on the same website from which you downloaded. It will provide you installations instructions and answer your question.
