Unity kinect v2 windows store

I am trying to build a project in Unity3D which uses the Kinect v2 for The Windows store. To build a windows store app from unity it 1st builds a visual studio project from which you then build the final app. I am getting errors when I try to build the visual studio project. The exact same problem as posted here in fact Which has no posted solution. Here is my error

    First-chance exception at 0x76004598 in Template.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: Platform::ClassNotRegisteredException ^ at memory location 0x0643F1C0. HRESULT:0x80040154 Class not registered

    WinRT information: Class not registered

    Stack trace:
    combase.dll!76727455()
    vccorlib120_app.dll!5003a438()
    vccorlib120_app.dll!5003b337()
    KinectUnityAddin.dll!50061296()
    KinectUnityAddin.dll!500745af()
    KinectUnityAddin.dll!50062eef()

    If there is a handler for this exception, the program may be safely continued.

I was wondering if the stack overflow community would have any insight into this issue.

Solution

  • Ok I've got this working for Unity 5

    1. Set up the dll in metro folder to build for WSAPlayer
    2. Tick microphone and webcam boxes in player settings, publishing settings, capabilities
    3. Build for windows 8.1 (do not tick C# project box)
    4. One project will be created in the VS solution. Right click on references\ add reference\Windows8.1\Extensions\ then tick the box for WindowsPreview.Kinect (x86 windows 8.1 version)
