GEM pix_video plugin: videoKINECT

!!
I decided to cancel development on the Kinect plugin for pix_video – please use pix_freenect if you need video streams from Kinect or pix_openni if you need some advanced tracking features as well
!!

download source

videoKINECT (very alpha version…)

::INSTALL::
just testet under Ubuntu but should also work in OSX

get and install libfreenect from http://openkinect.org
https://github.com/OpenKinect/libfreenect

get latest version of Gem from SVN
https://pd-gem.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pd-gem/trunk/Gem/

copy folder videoKINECT into Gem/src/plugins/

#…/Gem/src/plugins/videoKINECT> make

#…/Gem/src/plugins/videoKINECT> sudo make install

this creates the dylib gem_videoKINECT.so in the Gem installfolder-> watch out for the right folder….

have a look at the videoKINECT-help.pd file!

________________
:::THINGS TO DO:::

* possibility to open more than one pix_video with videoKINECT to output rgb and depth image
-> maybe some code has to be rewritten!

* possibility to connect to more than one Kinect

* acceleration sensor output not working

* check other image formats of libfreenect
