Getting started with the Kinect package

Heads up!

VRUI must be installed before the Kinect package can be installed.

  1. Install VRUI (go to instructions \(\rightarrow\))
  2. Install Kinect package!!!

Prerequisites

This software requires the Vrui VR toolkit, version 13.0 build 001 or newer. It also requires libusb version 1.0, and that Vrui was configured with support for libusb prior to its installation. To properly work with multiple Kinect-for-Xbox version 1473 and/or Kinect-for-Windows devices, the libusb library needs to provide USB bus topology query functions such as those provided by the libusbx fork. This software can optionally create Kinect 3D video streaming plug-ins for Vrui's collaboration infrastructure (version 2.9 or newer). The presence of Vrui's collaboration infrastructure will be detected automatically during the build process.
