I've just setup libfreenect2 on OSX 10.11.5 and I can successfully run the Protonect demo displaying RGB/IR/depth streams, but I'd like to use OpenNI/NITE for skeleton tracking as well.
I've followed the instructions in the repo's README file for OpenNI, but when I tried to run NiViewer I got this:
NiViewer
openDevice failed:
DeviceOpen using default: no devices found
Press any key to continue . . .
I'm currently going through libfreenect2 issues on github and documenting what I'm trying and the outcomes here. Any hints/tips are helpful.
What is the easiest way to setup and test OpenNI/NITE with libfreenect2 using a Kinect v2 on OSX ?
Turns out I was using NiTE 1.5 when I should've been using NiTE2.2
I simply copied libfreenect2-openni2.0.dylib
from libfreenect2/build/lib
to NiTE-MacOSX-x64-2.2/Samples/Bin/OpenNI2/Drivers/
then ran the SimpleUserTracker
sample and it worked !
There is still a catch: samples that just print to the console run, but the ones that open a window and render don't work. No window is rendered, as if that thread is blocked somehow. That is when I use the integrated Intel GPU. If I use the discrete nVidia GPU the app crashes:
