Supoorting Multiple Kinects #5

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Does the bridge support multiple Kinect devices?

I have two Kinect 4 Windows connected. OpenNI lists two device nodes, but when 
I try to enumerate all depth/color/ir nodes, I just get one node back, while I 
should have two nodes reported (for each of the two devices).

I'd really appreciate if you can comment on this behavior.

Thanks a lot for the very useful tool!

Sorry, currently the bridge supports only one Kinect within one process. It 
scans the list of connected Kinects and automatically picks up the first 
available one.

I will comment here when I have added the multiple Kinect support. I am not 
sure when it is going to be, though.

There is one workaround that might help you: if you run two processes of your 
application with the bridge, each one will pick up different Kinect. (Because 
the second process skips the first Kinect which is already occupied by the 
first process.) This gives you "some" control which Kinect to use for each 
application.

Thanks for your interest!
