UPDATE: For more Kinect blog posts, consider visiting my new website. The website will always be up-to-date with the latest SDKs and sensors. IntroductionPlaying Kinect games is a really great experience.
Programming for Kinect is even greater! Browsing the web, you can find many cool 'hacks' (, ) which allow Kinect be used by a PC rather than an XBOX.

What Microsoft may not have anticipated was that its affordable gaming accessory was capable of many great things once placed in the hands of creative developers around the world.
Via these hacks, we gain access to Kinect's cameras (color and depth), LED, accelerometer and motor. Obtaining both the raw and the depth image, it is easier to build Machine Vision applications. But the main problem remains: Kinect magic is its software and the device simply cannot give us all those body-tracking algorithms by itself.Fortunately, PrimeSense, the company behind Kinect, released OpenNI framework and NITE middleware. This means that we can now have access to features such as real-time skeleton tracking, gesture recognition, wave detection and much more! Prerequisites.
or sensor. Windows 7 or Windows 8OpenNI and NITE installation can be painful if not done properly. Let's do it step by step: Step 0Uninstall any previews drivers, such as CLNUI. Look at the end of this post if you want to see how you can have multiple drivers installed. Step 1. Download and unzip.
Open the unzipped folder and navigate to Bin folder. Run the msi Windows file.Drivers are now installed in your PC. Step 2Download and install the latest stable or unstable from OpenNI website. Step 3Download and install the latest stable or unstable (NITE) from OpenNI website.During installation, provide the following (free) PrimeSense key: 0KOIk2JeIBYClPWVnMoRKn5cdY4= Step 4Download and install the latest stable or unstable from OpenNI website.Both stable and unstable releases have worked for me. If you have trouble installing the unstable releases, just try the stable ones. Step 5. Plug in your Kinect device and connect its USB port with your PC.
Wait until the driver software is found and applied. Navigate to the Device Manager (Control Panel). You should see something like the following:Step 6Navigate to C:Program FilesOpenNISamplesBinRelease (or C:Program Files (x86)OpenNISamplesBinRelease) and try out the existing demo applications. Try the demos found in C:Program FilesPrime SenseNITESamplesBinRelease (or C:Program Files (x86)Prime SenseNITESamplesBinRelease), too. If they work properly, then you are done!
Step 7You have successfully installed Kinect in your Windows PC! Read the documentation and familiarize yourself with the OpenNI and NITE API.
You'll find the proper assemblies in:. C:Program FilesOpenNIBin (or C:Program Files (x86)OpenNIBin) and. C:Program FilesPrime SenseNITEBin (or C:Program Files (x86)Prime SenseNITEBin)OpenNI is the primary assembly you'll need when developing Natural User Interfaces applications.C# tutorials on using the managed OpenNI.net libraries can be found in this blog, so stay tuned;-). Update June 12, 2011: Troubleshooting. If you are running a version of OpenNI older than 1.1.0.38, then you need to replace the XML files found under Program FilesOpenNIData and Program FilesPrimeSenseNITEData with the corresponding ones found. If the demos do not run, then navigate to the Control Panel and open the Environment Variables panel. Under 'System variables', find OPENNIBIN variable and replace C:Program FilesOpenNIbin with C:Program FilesOpenNI Bin (uppercase 'B').Installing Multiple DriversThanks to my friend (@), you can now have various Kinect drivers installed concurrently.
Here's how to achieve this:. Open Device Manager. Right click Kinect Camera under PrimeSensor. Select 'Update driver software'. Select 'Browse my computer for driver software' and 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'. Select the driver of your preference (e.g.
). You are done! Member 13503593 4-Nov-17 15:304-Nov-17 15:30Hi guys, I know this item is kind of old but I really need your help, I'm trying to connect the kinect Xbox 360 on a Windows xp but at the end of the process the motor hardware is not visible, but camera and the audio yes, I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I did the first install with the libusb win 32. And then I tried with primesense but I can't remove libusb from the device management. I'm a beginner not an expert. Thank you very much for your help.

DavidDunning 11-May-12 5:3411-May-12 5:34I used the Kinect, OpenNI with SensorKinect and NITE, last year. Coming back to it this year, only the Kinect Motor was detected. I spent most of the day chasing the problem.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Old versions and latest versions. By using Device Manager, Action, Install legacy hardware, I could force the Kinect Camera to appear, but only with the yellow triangle and the 'Device cannot start' error.Then I fixed it by plugging the mains adapter of the XBox Kinect into the power.The blinking LED fooled me. USB power is enough for the motor to be detected too.Just thought I would add this message here since my searches always pointed at this thread. Indeed, Darren Wier's comment below says he fixed it by plugging it in.
I thought he meant he plugged the USB in, but now I see. So I thought I would make it explicit.Plus, if your C# program reports 'Can't create any node of the requested type.' Then just double-check that you really have installed NITE. It's been a long day! Matteosistisette 8-Jun-11 11:288-Jun-11 11:28Hi,I followed STRICTLY your instructions, step by stem, and EVERYTHING went exactly as you described except for the last step:when I run a sample, as for example the NiViewer, I get this message:One or more of the following nodes could not be enumerated:Device: PrimeSense/SensorV2/5.0.1.31: The device is not connected!Image: PrimeSense/SensorV2/5.0.1.31: Can't create any node of the requested type!Any idea?The kinect is connected and the green led is blinking.
Drivers got succesfully installed. I had the same message yesterday when installing the Win64 Dev versions on my Windows 7-sp1, 64 bit system. After uninstalling and reinstalling several times with different configurations, I got the Win32 unstable versions working.
