AIRKinect with Kinect for Windows on OSX 10.7.4


Im currently trying to get a new Kinect for Windows to run on OSX 10.7 with AirKinect 2. So far i had no luck.

Here is what i did until now :

Then i wanted to verify if the device works. I used this app http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:18425 but it does not recognize the device.

In FDT 5.5, i have a sample project which uses the AirKinect Native Extension/ane.

All it does is to check for Kinect.isSupported() but i constantly get the following error:

Error #3500: The extension context does not have a method with the name applicationStartup.

Currently im stuck here. Are there any drivers missing? Anybody got AirKinect + Kinect for Windows on OSX 10.7 to work?

Solution

  • First, confirm that OpenNI works correctly. It should come with some very basic non-AIR samples. If the samples don't work, there is probably something wrong with the driver.

    As far as I can gather from the information on GitHub, avin2's branches of SensorKinect don't have support for the Kinect for Windows sensor yet. There is a pending pull request which apparently adds the missing features. You can find a Kinect for Windows-enabled binary here.

    By now, the OpenNI samples should work. Try your AIRKinect Test again. If it fails, consider using an ANE from the AIRKinect development repository - the builds there are updated more frequently than in the main branch.

    But keep in mind: Neither have I tried this approach, nor do I have the facilities to do so. I'm just naming some common problem sources and their solution.
