ofxMultiKinectV2

Connecting more than one Kinect For Windows V2 sensor to one Supports only OSX. Based on the excellent work by

• The libfreenect2 team ( @JoshBlake @floe and @christiankerl plus others )
• The ofxKinectV2 addon by Theo Watson

Compatibility

• oF 0.9.0 or newer
• example projects are generated with oF 0.9.3 project generator

Features

• More than one Kinect V2 to one Mac
• 30fps depth decoding using GPU (OpenCL)
• OpenGL depth to color registration (experimental)

Xcode Project Setup

Add these libraries/frameworks to Build Phases > Linked Frameworks and Libraries

• OpenCL.framework
• usb-1.0.0-superspeed.a from ofxMultiKinectV2/libs/libusb/lib/osx
• libturbojpeg.dylib from ofxTurboJpeg/libs/turbo-jpeg/lib/osx

Add these libraries/frameworks to Build Phases > Copy Files and make sure the Desination is set to Frameworks

• libturbojpeg.dylib

Dependencies

• ofxTurboJpeg

  • Now we can use original master instead of Satoru Higa's fork (Apr 2016)

  #define USE_OFX_TURBO_JPEG

Notes

• The requirement is almost same as ofxKinectV2 https://github.com/ofTheo/ofxKinectV2
  • Check the notes above first.
• Tested environments:
  • MacBookProRetina (Mid2012) + OSX Yosemite (v 10.10.1) + oF v0.8.4 + Kinect V2 x2 (retail version)
    • Some depth packets are dropped when connecting two Kinect V2 to built-in USB3 ports.
    • Works well when connecting one Kinect V2 to built-in port meanwhile another Kinect V2 to CalDigit.
  • MacBookProRetina (Mid2014) + OSX Yosemite (v 10.10.5) + oF pre-0.9 + KinectV2 x2 (retail + dev version)
  • Mac Pro (Late2013) + OSX Mavericks (v 10.9.5) + oF v 0.9.0 + Kinect V2 x5
    • On Mac Pro + Yosemite or El Capitan, currently this addon will not work! Please downgrade OS to Mavericks if you want to use this addon on Mac Pro.
• If you're not seeing data out of the Kinect and see Failed to reset Kinect messages in the console, see a workaround in this issue from libfreenect2
