So I just got my hands on a project scorpio xbox and found out it does not have a Kinect slot on it. Pretty bummed out as I wanted an older console just for that reason. Is there any adapter out there which can get it to work on this console?

does anyone know any way to make the kinect v2 connect to windows without the special adapter as it is a bit difficult to get where I am, I am willing to get it as the kinect can be used for a lot of things, I am just wondering if there is a better way

So I finally got my kinect v2 working on win10 and FAAST configured (FYI I have the 1.2 x64 and the preview versions if anyone needs them, I noticed they don't seem to be in the wild anymore). FAAST is working in Note pad and my browser but wont work with any games or apps... Anyone know what FAAST uses to send inputs, is it a "Virtual HID"? What does the system identify it as so I can start trouble shooting on how to make games/apps see those inputs.

With PyKinect2, I'm able to retrieve joint position orientation with this: joints = body.joints head_joint = joints[PyKinectV2.JointType_Head]

                                head_x = head_joint.Position.x
                                head_y = head_joint.Position.y
                                head_z = head_joint.Position.z

but I'm not sure how to do the same with orientation.

i've tried this, and variations, but no luck.
head_orientation = joints[PyKinectV2.JointType_Head].Orientation

                                head_ow = head_joint.w
                                head_ox = head_joint.x
                                head_oy = head_joint.y
                                head_oz = head_joint.z

Can anyone help?

HI!

I just got a few Kinects for xbox one and did not find straight forward guide on how to get data out of it.

Ideally, I'm looking for a way to get colored point cloud data out with a tool.

I can code, if I have to.

My goal is to record, say, a dancer preforming, with the kinects, and incorporate the point cloud into a 3D software, 3DS max or Blender.

Hello, my name is Ignacio and i am having problems connecting my xbox 360 kinect (1414) to my windows 10 pc (it only recognizes the main device and not the 4 devices that it should) i have tried reinstalling the drivers 2.0, 1.8 and 1.7 but non of them seem to fix my problem, if anyone has a solution for this it would be really helpful, thank you.

windows 10, have both runtimes and the sdk installed and the microphone works just fine but not the actual camera in amethyst it says it's disconnected and in kinect studio nothing appears in the preview

Hello, I'm doing a test for something and i don't need the bayer pattern to be projected when i use the infrared setting on the kinect, i have a near infrared illuminator that will be used instead.
Where can i access those settings as an alternative to just sticking a masking tape on top of the laser projector?

Going to try reinstalling the drivers now but kind of losing it now. Any advice would be hihgly appreciated.

I was sitting on the toilet and I thought this, will it actually register and move your avatar?

asking for a friend here

Hey,

I'm working on an art project and I'm looking to connect a Kinect to my Mac running macOS Big Sur 11.7.2 (2017 model). I have a Kinect v1, but if that's not feasible, I'm open to using a Kinect v2.

I'm reaching out to see if anyone has experience connecting a Kinect to a Mac and could provide guidance on the process. Specifically, I'm interested in:

• Hardware requirements: What adapters or additional equipment might I need?
• Software setup: Which drivers and libraries are necessary to enable communication between the Kinect and macOS?
• Compatibility: Are there any known compatibility issues with macOS Big Sur and either Kinect version?

Any advice, resources, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi there, I am making a targeting system project and found a kinect in the junk box of the nearby robotics lab. I brought it home, and it works well, and I am using yolov5 to use as the eyes and ears of my targeting system.

yolo does not detect the kinect and I may have to pre-process the vision stream from the kinect before feeding it into yolo. My question is: Has anyone done this before?

​

So I play Just Dance 2022 on Xbox one with the Kinect sensor.

About a year or so ago (maybe nine months) my sensor would periodically disconnect and I’d have to reset my console to get it to register again.

I wasn’t sure if it was my console or the sensor, but since sensors were cheaper I ordered another one. It seemed to solve the problem, because I no longer had sporadic disconnects… until today.

Has anyone else ever had this problem? Is it that these Kinect 2.0 sensors are all hitting that age where they begin to fail? Or could it be an issue with my console?

I tried following a tutorial from like 11 years ago but that didn't work since (I belive) he was using windows 7. Either way I like the aspects of C# in the Kinect software app but I can't use the camera for discord or talking with friends so I need a solution to this.

If there would be a software that does this or a solution that works for my problem then please comment it down below. Also I've only owned one of theese kinect to usb setups for like 5 hours so keep that in mind if you have a solution!

I'm trying to connect my xbox 360 kinect on my laptop, but everytime it disables all my audio outputs, the volume is locked at 0, and when I go to audio settings all the other outputs are gone. Sometimes they are still gone after I unplug it, but it's definitely the kinect doing it. Thanks for the help in advance.

I'm posting the fix here as I could not find the solution anywhere in the event it will help someone else.

If the Kinect keeps rebooting every 5 seconds on the dot that means it being refused audio connection. In the windows search bar type in Microphone Privacy Setting. Allow apps to access your microphone and make sure the app "Camera" is checked on.

*In the event microsoft keeps failing to install the device make sure you are plugged into a USB 3 Gen 2 port!!

i was having costant issues with windows not letting the drivers function and after some googling about windows drivers in general I found that by default the Defender setting "Memory Integrity" causes issues with drivers and even other stuff. but before you go in and disable it please assess the risks. you are disabling a core security feature and should only do it if you have either another antivirus or are willing to take that risk. after you disable the setting it will prompt you to restart. after you are back on the desktop. open device manager and update the drivers for each device under the "kinect for windows" category. make sure you click "Update manually" and "choose from a list of drivers on my computer" it should even work without a restart. and boom your kinect v1 works. I'm new to this forum and just wanted to share a solution with the community. i hope this helps and i apologize for the poor writing.

So I need help, I want to install the sdk 2.0 for my kinect v2, but whenever I run the installer and click install, it just gets stuck on the installation progress. Can't click cancel, or the exit button. I have to use task manager to end process because there doesn't seem to be any progress.

I can use Kinect 360 to see the depth image and control it's angle of view, but when I want to use Kinect Studio to get the Point Cloud data, it cannot connect.

Can somebody help me?

I have a spare Kinect2 and projector and some spare time on my hands. I’d love to build some sort of gesture driven/touch screen surface pointed at my dining table. Use cases would be regular desktop operations, but also playing touch compatible games on this larger “display”.

I’ve played with Kinects for some time and am astonished by the K2’s accuracy. Does anyone know of a project like this? I’d be happy to pick up existing work before starting from scratch. OpenNI and potentially VPT could be good supporting tools I guess.

I appreciate any pointers and thoughts, thanks!

So I play a lot of Virtual Reality games with my Oculus Quest 2 in the dark, which would work out great if I had an infrared lamp. A couple hours ago I just realized that the Kinect sensor I have in my closet has a big IR blaster. Is there any way that I can turn on that IR blaster separately or just use it as an IR lamp without having to hook it up to my computer?

hi i recently download and unistall sdk and i try to reinstall it but i got this error

https://preview.redd.it/3tsom9huohec1.png?width=749&format=png&auto=webp&s=57024d5ed7c8e24b4098190f08fb39055f338a9d

even after i restart it this thing don't work ;-;

I was doing the USB mod but I somehow burnt the CR1 diode, is there any way I can still get this kinect working?

Hi everyone, how could I disable the "kinectservice.exe" function when starting Windows 11?

It conflicts with the programmed management of "NVIDIA Geforce Experience" to pause the Geforce RTX3060 graphics card when I use the laptop on battery without the kinect.

"kinectservice.exe" It starts at startup after I installed "kinect SDK v2" (I checked the control and programming apps but I can't find a way to block startup on the interface even though the Xboxone Kinect device is not connected to the USB )

​

I read on "Microsoft" about my own case solved with terminal commands, but I wouldn't want to compromise the correct functioning of the Kinect. has anyone tried?

​

I am a novice user of the "Kinect XBoxOne" peripheral which I connect to a laptop with Geforce RTX3060 graphics card

I do some tests with the "PureData" software

for small applications.
