This is the source code for the foyer installation in our Calgary office. The eyes of our robot logo, displayed on a TV, would follow people as they entered and were tracked with a Kinect.
This repo is no longer maintained and is being shared as-is for the sake of it.
brew install libtool libusb
You must install these three dependencies in the correct order:
- OpenNI
- SensorKinect
- NITE
mkdir ~/Kinect && cd ~/Kinect
Download the latest 1.x (not 2.x+) versions of OpenNI and NITE here. Move these into the new Kinect folder and then sudo ./install.sh OpenNI.
Download SensorKinect here. Navigate to the Bin directory and expand the Mac .bz2 file. Run sudo ./install.sh.
Install NITE with (surprise) sudo ./install.sh.
Copy the .xml files (there should be three of them) from NITE/data to SensorKinect/data.
Restart your computer and connect your Kinect. That's fun to say.
Run cd ~/Kinect/nite-bin-macosx-v1.5.0.2/Samples/Bin/Release/ && ./Sample-PointViewer to test that everything is working properly.
