for Mac

You'll have a better time working with the Kinect on an Intel Mac because on an Apple Silicon computers (M1, M2, M3, etc) you'll need to right-click the Isadora application on your desktop or in the Applications folder, choose "Get Info", and check "Open using Rosetta". (You only need to change this setting once on an Apple Silicon machine, but if you don't do it, the OpenNI Tracker actor won't show up in the program. I'm not sure but you might need to do it again if you update to a newer version of Isadora, as the new Isadora 4 application will replace the old Isadora 4 application and I'm not sure if the setting is preserved through that process.)

Please take a moment to add your hardware and Isadora version to your signature line as per this post, as it helps us with troubleshooting and giving advice: https://community.troikatronix.com/topic/6764/everyone-read-add-your-operating-system-and-hardware-to-your-signature-line

Are you using the Kinect V2 with the OpenNI Tracker plugin? (TROIKATRONIX : ISADORA - OpenNI Tracker)
If you are wanting to use it for body tracking, it should work with this plugin if you follow the instructions (require running in Rosetta mode on non-Intel macs)

@axelartes

it is always going to start out low res and low quality, but you can smooth out the image slightly if you are OK with losing some definition. I use Scaler to increase the resolution of the image, that gives me more pixels to work with, even if the source image is still low res. A combination of Gaussian Blur and Threshold will produce smoother outlines that match your scaled image.
