and also if i dont can i connect the kinect to my pc with no adapter?
thanks.

edit: im gonna use it for driver4vr

I bought 2 used Kinects, not the first time I got one but to my surprise I got 2 different models 1414 and 1473.

I see the middle cameras are different, I'm searching but I can't find anyone pointing this out, 1414's middle camera has a circular outline and is protected with a tiny bulb but the one from the 1473 model is not protected by a buld and the outline is not circular.

I can't test the cameras right now because I'm away from home celebrating Christmas but I just want to know if someone else has a 1473 model to compare or just knows if that model is like that or on the contrary they sold me a bad Kinect judging for how it looks.

Title: Beginner Looking for Ideas and Help with Kinect 360 🙏

Hi everyone,

I’m new to working with Kinect and just got my hands on a Kinect 360 (Kinect v1). I’m super excited to explore its creative possibilities, but I’m hitting some roadblocks and could use your guidance and advice.

What I’m Looking For:

• Project Ideas: What kind of visuals or interactive experiments can I create with the Kinect 360?
• Beginner Resources: Are there tutorials, guides, or communities specifically for Kinect v1? Most of the content I find (especially on YouTube) is either for Kinect v2/Azure or too advanced for me to follow.
• Depth Cloud Confusion: I can’t get the point cloud to work. Is this feature exclusive to Kinect v2 and Azure, or am I missing something?
• Improving Accuracy: The Kinect isn’t capturing data accurately, and interactions feel laggy or choppy. Any tips to optimize it for better performance?

I’m also starting to learn TouchDesigner and would love to hear if anyone has experience using Kinect 360 with it. I really want to create something fun and exciting to keep my motivation up as I dive deeper into this world.

Any advice, resources, or even small beginner-friendly project suggestions would mean a lot. Thank you so much for your time and support! 🙏

Cheers,
A Kinect Enthusiast in the Making 🎮

Is it possible to use the Kinect as a camera on an Xbox? Either Xbox one or Xbox 360? I want to record my living room for a few minutes. I tried the windows camera app on Xbox one but I got an error message when I tried using it, even though I gave permissions to the camera as well as mic.

Hello, I was wondering if there's a program or sofware that I can use to enable my 360 kinect as a webcam (what I mean by that, is so other programs recognize it as a web cam like google meet or discord without the need for OBS)

I have tried many things but it seems that they are only meant for windows 10 and did not recived support for windows 11

Any help will be appreciated

Hello,

I’m wondering if Dragon Ball Kinect is enjoyable and playable ?

I know there were a lot of bad reviews for this game at that time but I have seen some video of gameplay and it looks not so totally bad and as a big fan of Dragon Ball since as a kid it’s really interesting the concept and reminds me Dragon Ball Budokai Tenkaichi 3 Wii (This is probably better though).

So I’m wondering if Dbz Kinect has decent recognition and if the gameplay with Kinect is enough enjoyable and playable.

Many thanks.

So I have had my Kinect v2 device working on Windows 11 for a while now, and starting like 2 months ago it just stopped working. It didn't matter what USB device I plugged into or how many I had plugged in. It just either does get detected or it will rapidly disconnect reconnect and make the noises and it doesn't stop unless I take it out. So I bought a PCIe USB 3.2 card thinking ok maybe that will fix it. Nothing it doesn't make a difference. So I decided to plug it into my Xbox One X which also needs the adapter so this would tell me if the Kinnect or the adapter was busted but no it worked perfectly on my Xbox. Any ideas?

Basically, by sheer chance, I got my hands on a full set of XBox 360, controller and Kinect - and all of them in really good condition!

I know that the Kinect's main claim to fame is depth sensing (RGB-D) and that it can be used for gesture input and alike (I heared VTubers used to use Kinects for the basis of tracking).

So, I am very curious! What can I do with this new found device? As a software dev, I looked at libfreenect1 already - but I haven't really seen any project that seems to explicitly depend on it... Any lists or pointers to neat things I can do with the Kinect on my PC (win10)? (I am searching for a usb+power adapter already - that much I already learned!)

Thank you!

Hello

I've got a Kinect for Windows Model 1517.

I purchased a supposed compatible power supply from Amazon. The Amazon power supply only outputs 12V 1.08A.

Upon trying to get the device to function with libfreenect, both with a Raspberry Pi, and with a Linux machine running Zorin, I continue to have a blinking green LED, indicating a power issue.

I've tried to look on the internet for power supplies that supply 2 Amps, but they don't exist.

What am I missing?

Hello, I buyed Kinect Xbox 360 for VR (Driver4VR). I got Kinect and power adapter, connected all this to PC to USB 3.0 (blue), after try USB 2.0. I installed drivers - Kinect_Runtime_v2.2_1905 and Kinect SDK-v2.0_1409

AND I CANT CONNECT THIS:

- Green light on Kinect always flashing every 1-2 seconds.

- In Device Manager I always see, that Device Manager Windows always restarted (every 5 seconds) and hear sound of disconnect (every 20 seconds). I see in "Other Devices" - "Xbox Kinect Audio 2011 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved" and "Xbox NUI Camera", nothins else linked with Kinect.

- In Kinect Configuration Verifier (in SDK) - Kinect is not connected.

- In USBTreeView (program) I see that "Xbox Kinect Audio 2011 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved" and "Xbox NUI Camera" connected to port in USB 3.0 and after 20 seconds disappered and I can't see this until I'll reconnect USB (this happen also in USB 2.0, all USB port don't work"

Please, help!

I wanted to know what i could do with my old 360 kinetic. Can you do things like control your cursor from a distance like you could on the 360? I heard the xbox one kinetic has facial recognition for windows hello.

Just wondering what I should do and if I should buy a xbox one version instead.

Also I'm fairly good with running code and stuff if that is needed.

I was wondering if it is possible to connect my xbox kinect 360 to my phone using the usb-c and transmit the video stream to my pc on the network. Is there any existing driver for interfacing kinect and android or is it better to use a sbc for this process since kinect does only 30fps max.

I have tried the kinect development toolkit and was just experimenting whether it is possible to have kinect transmit data to the pc remotely

Just to start, I am a hardware guy and I have only compiled one thing and that took close to 2 days of me not knowing what I was doing and was wondering if there was a way to get open kinect without compiling it. If not are there any good video tutorials that are easy to follow for beginners?

Hi this my test with the kinect V2 to scan in 3D with a turntable (with the Microsoft 3D Scan program), this was tricky when I left the kinect still, because it didn't recognize motion, so I reduced the scan depth and put some references to the platform, then it finally works.

The glass you see in the video is for a test of reducing the infrared LED to see any change (there were no observable changes).

I also modified the fan to make it work and it won't overheat, here is the video tutorial:

https://youtu.be/9p1HJmBb82Q?si=mRUadEOW7FCa0QhX

Finally the scanned model is actually not very good, it lacks greater precision, maybe it is a software issue of the 3D scan, but I really do not know how to program a new one.

Maybe it gives better results when moving it, but it's not the idea.

Do you know any other programs compatible with the Kinect V2? Let me know!

Does anyone have any idea on how I could possibly do this? I was recently given an xbox 360 kinect and didn't really know what to do with it until I was watching netflix on my projector the other night and after fidgeting with 3 different remotes, wishing I could just use hand motions instead. Does anyone know if its even possible to hook up an old xbox 360 kinect to my walmart roku projector so I can make a cool show piece for my house and stop using 2 remotes to control what I want to watch? All I want to work are simple gestures for things like "volume up/down" "pause/play" "scrolling through shows by waving my hand, then either pushing or closing it to select whatever im hovering over". Seems super complicated but at the same time I feel like its easier than im making it out to be since the technology has been out for a few decades now.

I have replaced many of the parts with a spare one and I still cannot get it to work. The light will come on then come off again. It isn’t recognized and won’t turn on at all on my Xbox but on my pc the light will flash like this and it will say it’s recognized but no camera will come on.

TL;DR I don't see my "libfreenect.sln" file in the output folder. \bin and \lib are both empty.

EDIT: I downloaded the older versions of the dependencies. Though it is more faithful to the instructions, it has yet to solve the problem.

Hey guys, I'm on the last step of setting up the Kinect on the windows 11; following the instructions provided by the OpenKinect website (Getting Started - OpenKinect) and "Hacking the Kinect" by Kramer and etc.

However, I'm stuck on the last part of the instructions. I have configured and generated all the dependencies using Cmake with MinGW as the C compiler. The last few steps mentioned in the book is simply "compile using your compiler". Having no clue what that means, I resorted to the website which was thankfully a bit more specific.

Unfortunately, it seems that I am missing a specific file called " libfreenect.sln ". Furthermore, it seems that my folder \bin and \lib is empty instead of containing the compiled freenect libraries.

Here are some pictures for reference:

I feel like an enormous idiot ಥ_ಥ, so I am absolutely open to any solution to this problem.

I have already backtracked everything and double checked if I missed any step. It doesn't seem so.

Hi, I hope you are having a nice day.

I'm having problems connecting my kinet to be able to play just dance on a PC emulator.

I tried everything they tell me the tutorials, but every time the drivers are installed I get that, instead of the drivers.

I hope someone can help me :D

So I just got a great deal on a 360 Kinect. $13 for the sensor and 10 games. Is it ever going to be possible for me to get Fruit Ninja or DLC for Kinect Sports 1 + 2? I knew about the marketplace shut down when it happened, but had no clue I’d get a Kinect so kinda bummed I barely missed out.

I wonder if Xbox would ever consider opening the marketplace for just a day or a week sometime in the future. Surely there is a profit to be made.

Just curious to know if it's worth getting one to mess around with
