Use multiple Kinect2 sensors with VVVVgamma

[visionnocturne]

Hi All,

For a project, I need to connect multiple Kinect2 sensors to VVVVgamma on the same PC. I can only see one, and I can’t access the others. Does anyone have any idea how to achieve this?

Thank you

Mike

Afaik it’s not possible using the official microsoft sdk/driver which the nuget is based on.

Possible To Use Two Kinect 2 Sensors Now?

Yes you can use more than one K2 per PC, if you use the OpenNI2 library and the libfreenect2 driver. And you’ll need each on their own USB3 controller for best bandwidth. I’ve run four on one PC this way using a quad bus USB3 adapter from Startech. And concerning using multiple PCs, I strongly recommend converting the depth texture to world XYZ integer millimeteres and sending it in that form, as it will usually result in less data being sent, plus that way each camera PC can do the texture t…

Thank you, Bjoern.Unhappy, I will need to use point clouds and Kinect2 with VVVVgamma, and I think it is not possible with libfreenect2. In kinect2.vl, I can’t find the option to select multiple Kinect camera.

I wrote a wrapper for OpenNI2 to do this with beta, let me see if that will work under gamma. If so will post it. But may be a few days before I get the chance… I just did an instsllation using beta with six K2s on one PC, all generating pointclouds at 30fps.
