Hey Guys…
i bought a kinect, installed the ms drivers and get the kinect working in vvvv… now im searching for some more example patches to get some more ideas how to use this tool…
which drivers works better OpenNI or MS ?
Is there a hand tracking for MS too ?
Greets…
Hello,
The 1.5 Kinect SDK includes several features not available in OpenNI/NITE, like seated skeletal tracking, face tracking and support for Kinect for Windows near mode. I think the recent release 1.6 also supports orientation. However, u have choice to install both drivers and access both depending on what u want.
hi urbankid,
i dont know that both drivers can be installed parallel… i’ll try :)
are there more “help-patches” for the microsoft version ?
edit: OpenNI always says Cant connect to device :( the releated forum topic solution did not work for me :(
Hello mate,
Go through these earlier posts, hope it helps
Hey Urbankid, the first link was gold…
Now i got both drivers running parallel through this bridge, but now my problem is that the rgb node doesnt show a texture :( just black…
any ideas ?
From which u are getting just black screen, OpenNi or MS ? Make sure you have turned on the enable color pin
Btw, you are calling me urban"kid" , it should be “kind” ;)
Oh im sorry urbankind… Ill keep that in mind ;)
the NI-Node got that prob, depth is working but rgb shows just black…
MS is working fine, but im missing notes for gestures hand and co ;)

Hello Tobi,
Unfortunately i don’t have kinect at the moment to test things. I trust other users may shed some light on your case.
i hope so ;)
until this prob is solved i’ll play around with the MS nodes ;)
btw: i’m still searching for nice tutorials/links/patches to get a better unterstanding how to use the kinect…
The better approach is, find some inspiration in internet and try to realize the same and ask here the problem u encounter. This has an better understanding rather getting tired looking for tutorials. getting to know the pins and function is easy…how u use them is infinite
