Hello

I've got a Kinect for Windows Model 1517.

I purchased a supposed compatible power supply from Amazon. The Amazon power supply only outputs 12V 1.08A.

Upon trying to get the device to function with libfreenect, both with a Raspberry Pi, and with a Linux machine running Zorin, I continue to have a blinking green LED, indicating a power issue.

I've tried to look on the internet for power supplies that supply 2 Amps, but they don't exist.

What am I missing?

Basically, by sheer chance, I got my hands on a full set of XBox 360, controller and Kinect - and all of them in really good condition!

I know that the Kinect's main claim to fame is depth sensing (RGB-D) and that it can be used for gesture input and alike (I heared VTubers used to use Kinects for the basis of tracking).

So, I am very curious! What can I do with this new found device? As a software dev, I looked at libfreenect1 already - but I haven't really seen any project that seems to explicitly depend on it... Any lists or pointers to neat things I can do with the Kinect on my PC (win10)? (I am searching for a usb+power adapter already - that much I already learned!)

Thank you!

Hello, I buyed Kinect Xbox 360 for VR (Driver4VR). I got Kinect and power adapter, connected all this to PC to USB 3.0 (blue), after try USB 2.0. I installed drivers - Kinect_Runtime_v2.2_1905 and Kinect SDK-v2.0_1409

AND I CANT CONNECT THIS:

- Green light on Kinect always flashing every 1-2 seconds.

- In Device Manager I always see, that Device Manager Windows always restarted (every 5 seconds) and hear sound of disconnect (every 20 seconds). I see in "Other Devices" - "Xbox Kinect Audio 2011 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved" and "Xbox NUI Camera", nothins else linked with Kinect.

- In Kinect Configuration Verifier (in SDK) - Kinect is not connected.

- In USBTreeView (program) I see that "Xbox Kinect Audio 2011 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved" and "Xbox NUI Camera" connected to port in USB 3.0 and after 20 seconds disappered and I can't see this until I'll reconnect USB (this happen also in USB 2.0, all USB port don't work"

Please, help!

I wanted to know what i could do with my old 360 kinetic. Can you do things like control your cursor from a distance like you could on the 360? I heard the xbox one kinetic has facial recognition for windows hello.

Just wondering what I should do and if I should buy a xbox one version instead.

Also I'm fairly good with running code and stuff if that is needed.

I was wondering if it is possible to connect my xbox kinect 360 to my phone using the usb-c and transmit the video stream to my pc on the network. Is there any existing driver for interfacing kinect and android or is it better to use a sbc for this process since kinect does only 30fps max.

I have tried the kinect development toolkit and was just experimenting whether it is possible to have kinect transmit data to the pc remotely

Just to start, I am a hardware guy and I have only compiled one thing and that took close to 2 days of me not knowing what I was doing and was wondering if there was a way to get open kinect without compiling it. If not are there any good video tutorials that are easy to follow for beginners?

Does anyone have any idea on how I could possibly do this? I was recently given an xbox 360 kinect and didn't really know what to do with it until I was watching netflix on my projector the other night and after fidgeting with 3 different remotes, wishing I could just use hand motions instead. Does anyone know if its even possible to hook up an old xbox 360 kinect to my walmart roku projector so I can make a cool show piece for my house and stop using 2 remotes to control what I want to watch? All I want to work are simple gestures for things like "volume up/down" "pause/play" "scrolling through shows by waving my hand, then either pushing or closing it to select whatever im hovering over". Seems super complicated but at the same time I feel like its easier than im making it out to be since the technology has been out for a few decades now.

TL;DR I don't see my "libfreenect.sln" file in the output folder. \bin and \lib are both empty.

EDIT: I downloaded the older versions of the dependencies. Though it is more faithful to the instructions, it has yet to solve the problem.

Hey guys, I'm on the last step of setting up the Kinect on the windows 11; following the instructions provided by the OpenKinect website (Getting Started - OpenKinect) and "Hacking the Kinect" by Kramer and etc.

However, I'm stuck on the last part of the instructions. I have configured and generated all the dependencies using Cmake with MinGW as the C compiler. The last few steps mentioned in the book is simply "compile using your compiler". Having no clue what that means, I resorted to the website which was thankfully a bit more specific.

Unfortunately, it seems that I am missing a specific file called " libfreenect.sln ". Furthermore, it seems that my folder \bin and \lib is empty instead of containing the compiled freenect libraries.

Here are some pictures for reference:

I feel like an enormous idiot ಥ_ಥ, so I am absolutely open to any solution to this problem.

I have already backtracked everything and double checked if I missed any step. It doesn't seem so.

Hi, I hope you are having a nice day.

I'm having problems connecting my kinet to be able to play just dance on a PC emulator.

I tried everything they tell me the tutorials, but every time the drivers are installed I get that, instead of the drivers.

I hope someone can help me :D

So I just got a great deal on a 360 Kinect. $13 for the sensor and 10 games. Is it ever going to be possible for me to get Fruit Ninja or DLC for Kinect Sports 1 + 2? I knew about the marketplace shut down when it happened, but had no clue I’d get a Kinect so kinda bummed I barely missed out.

I wonder if Xbox would ever consider opening the marketplace for just a day or a week sometime in the future. Surely there is a profit to be made.

Just curious to know if it's worth getting one to mess around with

Do you have any idea if there is a software that can do that?
If not can you provide some assistance on how to achieve that?

The sensor must be placed on top right o left of the screen not opposite.

I have found this https://www.touchlesstouch.com/ which meets all my requirements but its quite old and I don't think that I can buy the license from their site.

Lastly, do you have in mind other equipment suitable for that under 110?
We want to cover 100" Surface with this equipment

I have been trying to install freenect for about a week now, have started from scratch multiple times, encountered all sorts of errors etc.... I have literally gotten to the last button press in visual studio and gotten some completely bullshit error that did not explain why it was happening.

anyway my question is, does freenect even work? and if not what alternatives do I have for getting my kinect's depth data in python?

I bought the kinect to help me 3d model but it get this green flashing light. ive downloaded everything but it says something about my usb port 3.0 and ive tried everysingle usb port on my pc and nothing help please

Hey folks, I just picked up a cheap Kinect For Xbox One that did come with the USB adapter for PC, but it didn't have the power supply. Is there a generic option I can get for PC use? Any info and links would be appreciated!

Hi! I recently got myself a used Kinect camera for my 360 during a vacation trip, wanted to try out a couple of games when i got back home, but i've been having issues setting up.

To my understanding, the Kinect should show like body tracking footage, but for me it just shows this grey square with black lines, i'm also unable to calibrate the camera in settings.

Did i just get a defective version or is there a fix? Thanks in advance!

Hey so I have win 11, how can i program my kinect so when it detects a person it will play a video but when the person leaves it will rewind the video and so on? im new to kinect dev and i just need it for a school project,thanks

Does anybody know how to use the Kinect to scan your face and mapping your likeness on your avatar? I think they demonstrated it in an E3 before.

So i got 2 xbox 360 kinects, and ive handcrafted an adapter for one and found the original one for the other.

Is there a way to plug in both kinects at the same time to track down the same person?

Super frustrated. I bought a brand new OEM adapter (supposedly) off of eBay and it’s not working at all. This is my first foray into Xbox and I’m just trying to get the Kinect to work for dance games. Bought the S and Dance Central before knowing about the need for an adapter and it’s just been a huge hassle. If there are any Xbox One S owners out there who have gotten this thing to work with their S, can you direct me to the adapter you used?
