Setup openni_tracker and openni_launch on talos main computer #78

The main issue is integration without destroying talos' existing configuration.

Works. Not publishing to RVIZ on a non-local computer

michaelmoritsugu commented 10 years ago

Based on our tests it appears that the openni_tracker is publishing transforms on the talos computer. Unfortunately, we cannot visually verify this as the tf isn't published to rviz running on a remote host (my laptop).

The next step is to try and get the data published on rviz on a remote computer.

The confirmation we're going off of is while I'm being tracked the rosrun tf view_frames command outputs a valid tf tree that is only published while I'm being properly tracked.
