OpenKinect library for Processing

Currently OSX only, please feel free to help remove that dependency.

Gimme the binary already! (Updated 19 Dec 2010)

If you don't care for building from source, there are a couple of downloads available.

10.6 - Snow leopard: http://nrocy.github.com/files/kinect20101222.zip

10.5 - Leopard: http://nrocy.github.com/files/kinect20101222_leopard.zip

Methods available:

NativeKinect.init() - initialize the Kinect
NativeKinect.setVideoIR() - output RGB video (default)
NativeKinect.setVideoIR() - output IR video
NativeKinect.start() - tell the Kinect to start streaming data to the library
NativeKinect.getVideo() - pull the latest video frame
NativeKinect.getDepthMap() - pull the latest depthMap frame
NativeKinect.setLed(int) - change the Kinect LED colour (0-6)

Example:

import king.kinect.*;

PImage img, depth;

void setup()
{
	size(1280, 480);
	
	img = createImage(640,480,RGB);
	depth = createImage(640,480,RGB);
	
	NativeKinect.init();
	NativeKinect.start();
}

void draw()
{
	img.pixels = NativeKinect.getVideo();
	img.updatePixels();

	depth.pixels = NativeKinect.getDepthMap();
	depth.updatePixels();

	image(img,0,0,640,480);
	image(depth,640,0,640,480);
}

Build Requirements:

Prebuilt 32-bit libraries are included, so no external deps.

Xcode

Build Instructions:

Coming soon.

TODO:

More error checking
Implement motor control methods
Implement accelerometer methods
Remove OSX/XCode specific dependencies
