Depth camera
Hello,
I'm searching for a new generation/model of depth camera/sensor which smoothly works with a jitter patch. Any clue? I used Kinect for a live depth processing project in 2017; now, I want to upgrade the gear to reinstall the project.
I found these three cameras (that are too expensive!), but not sure if they work with MAX.

Does anyone have experience using two depth cameras simultaneously? How can I define the input of two cameras to my patch?
Many thanks
Hi.
I'm looking to get started with depth camera. Anyone using depth camera with a Mac and Max9?
thx
If you want to use a Kinect 2 on an Apple silicon Mac, you can check out this updated version of jit.freenect2.
It works for me (Max 9), but you'll need to compile the external by yourself though.
Here is the original post in the Max Discord. The author is super reactive and helped me in the process.
Hi TFL
would you mind sharing your compiled version of this updated jit.freenect2 for Apple Silicon ?
I miserably failed at trying to compile it myself...
Here it is Mathieu. I did it in June 2025, so it is missing quite a few commits from the original repo.
I hope it will work for you.
For some reason I got a jit.freenect2.mxo is too small notification when trying to upload the .mxo directly. Funnily, a (smaller) zipped version of it seems to do the trick.
Thanks very much :-)
unfortunately, I get this error message :
jit.freenect2: unable to load object bundle executable: The bundle “jit.freenect2.mxo” couldn’t be loaded.
This external is really small, indeed...
maybe it requires some external dependencies?
Ah maybe you had to codesign it locally since I don't have an Apple developer account.
Anyway, thanks for the new version, I will replace my older version with yours.
It is indeed a small external!
