Connecting Xbox Kinect sensor

Sophie Stott's icon

Hi

I'm trying to kinect my Xbox Kinect sensor to Max MSP. I'm using a Mac v10.14, OS Mojave.

So far I can see that Synapse and dp.kinect are incompatible. NI Mate is also not currently compatible with Mojave.

Any other ideas? Surely this can work somehow!

Thanks so much

Hi,
I'm not super knowledgeable on the subject (so why am I commenting), but I'm currently using dp.kinect2 on windows, and got advice from friends who have Mac's. Most suggestions involved "Don't do it unless you are using Windows" or find a good library for something else and send any information you need through OSC.
Dunno if any of this helps, but wish you the best of luck.

(From what I understand as well, your mac will be able to take the color, IR and depth data from the kinect, however skeleton tracking is off the cards, without you implementing your own, or another blob tracking software.)

I use kincet 1414 in my mac 10.14, and it's ok to work!
Just follow this post, it's easy to setup.
