Kinect stream over lan

is it possible to join 2 or 3 kinect depth streams into one cloud via lan ?

Yea it’s possible but quite expensive on cpu
I use zero mq and asraw dx11 texture and raw as dx11 tex…

would it be less expensive with hap-q codec as its done in td ?

Don’t think that would help that much to have that codec…
Prolly some extension for kinect plugin would help a lot more, the problem there that you readback kinect texture from GPU, and there are no way to get it less expensive out of gpu… Also, since this also a floating point format don’t think spout will work…

Rest is pretty simple: pc per kinect… network solo for that and should work pretty much…
Never did this multi-kinect calibration thought… think tmp might know something.

you could also have a look at the zeromq example in my particles pack -> https://github.com/letmp/dx11-particles/tree/master/packs/dx11.particles/girlpower/Examples/Network

or you can use the AsRaw (DX11.Particles.Tools Texture2D) node to convert the kinect texture to a raw stream and send it via lan.

the first method is the better solution because you can do some pre-filtering on the sender side and decrease network traffic
