kinect2 support #14

Open jihoonl opened 9 years ago

jihoonl commented 9 years ago

Does it do kinect2 support? or does it require other library to use kinect2?

piyushk commented 9 years ago

Once #13 gets resolved, freenect_stack in Indigo should support kinect v2. I'll leave this ticket open until we have confirmed that.

I meant that I wonder whether Kinect for Xbox one is supported with this driver. because openkinect has separate repo to support this device

piyushk commented 9 years ago

For some reason I was under the impression that the changes required for running Kinect2 had been merged into the original libfreenect repository, which is clearly not the case.

This will likely require a separate libfreenect2 release.

Any progress on this issue? Kinect1 is getting more and more difficult to obtain.

Is there anyway that this stack could be re-purposed to work with libfreenect2 ?

piyushk commented 8 years ago

@mcgi5sr2: There is libfreenect2 support in ROS, just not via freenect_stack. http://www.ros.org/news/2014/09/microsoft-kinect-v2-driver-released.html

I'm a bit backlogged at the moment, so I'll try and add libfreenect2 support to this stack soon.

Hi piyushk, I am using the libfreenct2 and iai_kinect2 drivers. I am trying to get skeleton_tracker to work which is a fork of openni_camera. I was hoping to sub in this repo instead of the openni_camera one ot work with the kinect2. I'll need to look at all of it more closely, as I think its going to be a bit of hack. Thanks for the repy pal
