Hi Matthias, <div>if you know how to make a pix_kinect object please do!</div><div>It turns out that on mac there is no driver support for cameras in pix_video, it is all just going through quicktime.</div><div><br></div><div>

I tried PD-extended&#39;s 20110101 to the latest version (sporadically, not each one :) and the only cameras they would take on my mac was the built in isight and the logitech 9000 which is incredibly well supported. So there is the conclusion.</div>

hi!<br>
<br>
it would not be too difficult to make a separate pix_kinect object that does not depend on pix_video,<br>
but i think it would be good if pix_video is working with the pluginsystem not only on linux and to keep the videoKINECT idea.<br>
<br>
beside:<br>
i found a nice smoothing trick for the depth image: <a href="http://www.morethantechnical.com/2011/03/05/neat-opencv-smoothing-trick-when-kineacking-kinect-hacking-w-code/" target="_blank">http://www.morethantechnical.com/2011/03/05/neat-opencv-smoothing-trick-when-kineacking-kinect-hacking-w-code/</a><br>


a pix_opencv_inpaint object therefore would be good.<br>
<br>
in vvvv there is an object Kinect Multi Skeleton that outputs the depth image AND the skeleton data based on openNI.<br>
maybe a similar object for gem with the openNI framework would be more useful than the libfreenect approach. (because you can&#39;t connect 2 times to the kinect if you want sceleton and depth image)<br>
i&#39;ll have a look on that...<br>

Hey Matthias,<br>
<br>
Seems our problems are bigger than this plugin.  We are having trouble on getting pix_video working at all on both Mac OS X 10.5.8 and 10.6 with the latest Gem from svn.  I&#39;m using Pd-extended nightly 0.43-20110318 and Sofy is using 0.43-20110119.<br>

you tried it with the latest Gem from svn?<br>
<br>
the videoKINECT.so file seems to be not linked against libfreenect.<br>
i could not find where to include this in the configure/make system and entered it manually in the makefile - this should of course be corrected.<br>
but that cannot be the reason for the &quot;no method for driver&quot;.<br>

I just built it for Mac OS X, but when I try the [driver( message, it says &quot;no method for driver&quot;. I attached my binary, if anyone wants to try it.<br>

hello,<br>
<br>
i am working on a videoKINECT plugin for pix_video.<br>
it depends on libfreenect.<br>
the current result can be found here:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://home.eduhi.at/just4fun/matzisoft/homepage/downloads/videoKINECT.tar.gz" target="_blank">http://home.eduhi.at/just4fun/matzisoft/homepage/downloads/videoKINECT.tar.gz</a> <br>
<br>
maybe somebody with experience in coding c++ will have a look at it and<br>
improve it?<br>
<br>
it&#39;s currently NOT possible to open 2 pix_video with the kinect plugin.<br>
you can choose between rgb or depth image.<br>
<br>
have a look at provided videoKINECT-help.pd<br>
