Kinect for Windows v2

Hello,

perhaps I'm missing something obvious but I am having great difficulty in finding a way to use the Kinect for Windows v2 with Max. Has anyone had any luck with this?

Cheers,

Carey

I'll be offering a free bridging app to pipe data in via OSC soon.

good to know kcoul !
looking forward to your osc bridge.
will it be availible for mac or pc ?
having the kinect stuff in a seperate application is great.
so it is much more flexible than an external.

9999$ from the hidale shop seem a bit overpiced :-)

I don't see how that 's more flexible. Usually it's quite the opposite. But you can very well do that with an external if you like. Export your kinect patch to a standalone app and have it send its output to whatever you need to receive it using UDP/OSC. I do it to have the kinect processing running in entirely independent CPU threads.

Presumably this app would work for the OSC piping:

dp.kinect is really good. v2 is in beta, you can join it for free (and will cost very little after that, v1 was €25 I believe)

The of thing looks also interesting

+1 for dp.kinect

Oh yeah +1 for me too!

Have you compared the latency between the dp.kinect2 and the ofx ?
