SimpleOpenNI

Use Kinect 1 or 2 sensors with Processing 3

Example of skeleton tracking using KinectV2

Example of skeleton tracking using KinectV1

I update the driver to can use this library with Processing 3 and 2 with Kinect V1 and V2

Kinect V2 just works with USB 3.0

The instructions to Setup the Kinect are written for Mac OS High Sierra users.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

Processing IDE
A computer with OSX
Kinect V1
Kinect V2

Alternative:

Atom
Arduino IDE
Arduino board

Installing

Install the last stable version of Processing IDE, you can download it from this page:

Processing IDE

For OSX you just need to unzip the folder and paste the App in the applications folder.

Repository for Processing V3.5.3:

SimpleOpenni for Processing 3.5.3.
Repository for Processing V3.5.2:

SimpleOpenni for Processing 3.5.2.
Repository for Processing V3.4:

SimpleOpenni for Processing 3.4.
Repository for Processing V3.3.7:

SimpleOpenni for Processing 3.3.7.
Repository for Processing V3.3.6:

SimpleOpenni for Processing 3.3.6.
Repository for Processing V2.2.1:

SimpleOpenni for Processing 2.

The library has compatibility with Kinect V2 just in Processing V3.5.2, V3.4, V3.3.7 and V3.3.6

Once you have downloaded the library unzip it and follow the next steps:

Select the folder SimpleOpenNI and choose:
```
Edit > Copy
```

Go to the Finder

Choose Go > Go to Folder... and enter “~/Documents/Processing/libraries/"

Without the quotation marks. Click OK.

Press Cmd-V or choose Edit > Paste menu to put “SimpleOpenNI” in this location.

Test a program sample:

Connect your Xbox Kinect motion sensor to your computer in an available USB port. Ensure the sensor is connected to a power source.
Open Processing IDE
Copy and paste the next example in the sketch:

import SimpleOpenNI.*;


SimpleOpenNI  context;

void setup()
{
  size(640, 480);
  context = new SimpleOpenNI(this);
  if (context.isInit() == false)
  {
    println("Can't init SimpleOpenNI, maybe the camera is not connected!");
    exit();
    return;
  }

  // mirror is by default enabled
  context.setMirror(true);

  // enable depthMap generation
  context.enableDepth();

  // enable ir generation
  context.enableRGB();
}

void draw()
{
  // update the cam
  context.update();

  background(200, 0, 0);

  // draw depthImageMap
  image(context.depthImage(), 0, 0);

  // draw irImageMap
  image(context.rgbImage(), context.depthWidth() + 10, 0);
}

This is one example of how to activate the deep camera of the Kinect.

For more examples check the next links:

For Processing 3.4 the examples are added directly in the library, the Remove_Background_RGB example just work with Kinect V1
For Processing 3.3.7 check this branch:

Kinect V1 and V2 Processing 3.
