I've finished the 64-bit port of dp.kinect for the Max environment.

This x64 port has naturally received less usage/testing than the long available 32-bit version. You may experience issues. If you do, please open an issue at

Please check that you have the newest download. My intention during the beta period is to update the keys shortly before they expire.

I updated the download yesterday (14th) with a new key. The download contains v0.93 of the external, yet the key (dpkinect.dpreg) in the ZIP file is a new key.

The previous registration key expired today (15th).

I'd like to use your dp.kinect object but I'm using an Apple computer.

At the moment I use Synapse to track my body with the kinect but it takes too long till the skeleton is scanned.

Do you have an alternative suggestion which works with tracking points but faster than Synapse?

I would be very pleased.
Thanx a lot.

Unfortunately, Apple killed the OpenNI project. They additionally terminated all licensing, distribution, and usage for the closed-source NITE middleware that did skeleton tracking. If NITE is being distributed (which Synapse is still doing)...they are doing so illegally...so be cautioned.

To my knowledge, there is only one solution generally available for skeleton tracking on the Kinect. It is the family of solutions based on the Microsoft SDK for Kinect of which dp.kinect is one. Microsoft has not released an SDK for the Mac and I strongly suspect that they will not do so in the foreseeable future.

Good news, Microsoft added support for running the Kinect in a Virtual Machine (VM).

 writes about this and they explicitly list the Mac as an supported host OS.

Another option is to purchase a small miniPC for a few hundred dollars which can run the Kinect. You can run your solution/patch there or pipe it over to another computer using jitter, osc, or other data protocols.

I'll give openNI a shot. Found all necessary things. The OpenNI v1.5.7.10 version didn't work on my MB but I found an older 1.5.7.8 version which just works fine.

I'm not such a big fan of VMs. It's always a kind of a compromise which will -in my opninion- cause problems sooner or later.

It's a pity that there is no db.kinect for MAC users.

Hey Dale,
thanx for your fast answer.

So thanx for the openNI object.

I'm working with a dancer now - a long dream of mine.

Is there by any chance the possibility to ask you 2 or 3 private questions about openNI?

I couldn't find an eMail address of yours anywhere.

If it would be ok for you, could u leave me a short note on

So I would have your address and I could write u back.
