Multiple kinects #75

Closed kirivasile closed 4 years ago

kirivasile commented 4 years ago

Hi everyone! Is it possible to use depth images of two connected kinects? I've managed to make them work in http://docs.ipisoft.com/Multiple_Kinects_v2_on_a_Single_PC But don't know how to do it in this project.

I can only view frames of the first connected kinect.

Hi, I would assume that you'll have to change the runtime so that it can be configured to choose a different connect than the default. Probably affects this line: https://github.com/Kinect/PyKinect2/blob/c86d575175edf5fc0834590acdfb82b55b5ccd96/pykinect2/PyKinectRuntime.py#L65

Have a look at the C# Documentation of the Kinect2 library to see how it could be done.

Edit: Or maybe not: https://stackoverflow.com/a/42395909 This guy says it's not supported.

Haven't found any solution yet. I believe it's not supported. It's better to use multiple computers for this purpose.

i believe that pylibfreenect2 (runs only on Linux and not in Windows) can access multiple kinect's if the hardware supports it, meaning that you have more than one usb 3.0 port.
