Java binder

[AAcquier]

I am new to programming but i know a bit of java an d I would like to know what are the options for the java wrapper or any other language (Python or other, I do not look too favourably to C based languages), are the wrappers from libfreenect1 will do the trick else can someone point me out in the right direction

See https://github.com/OpenKinect/libfreenect2/issues/417 - we need new Java bindings, SWIG would be one way to generate those. But that's still a TODO.

In the meantime you can use Daniel Shiffman's OpenKinect-for-Processing's Java bindings that have been around for a while...

Excellent, thanks, didn't know these support libfreenect2.

I do not have the skills or the time to generate it myself, I reckon I might be looking into doing in Python that I will have to learn. I am looking at frrenect2, pyfreenect2 and pylibfreenect2 for the wrappers, is there one better or easier to use than the other.

I have been looking into that as well as Java 4 Kinect and they are fairly slow, also I may have to use AI classifier, then maybe at the end Python might be better

Naive misconception that Python "is faster" than Java run-time performance wise.

Well it allows you to bypass the Windows SDK and to do much more than that (if I understand what I am reading properly)
