After a recent Windows 10 update, to version 1803, my Kinect 2 stopped working properly: it would power off every five or seven seconds, power back up, detect users, then power down again. Basically useless for person tracking.One could see this just from the white lights on the front of the sensor turning on, then off again.Scouring the Microsoft Kinect Development forums I found the solution, which is, bizarrely, that you have to keep the microphone on the Kinect enabled.I share this in case anyone else encounters this:First check if the audio is disabled from Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound -> Recording -> Kinect Microphone. It should be enabled. Next, open the Microsoft Store Camera app - you will have to physically disconnect or disable any other cameras you may have attached to computer, eg webcam - and under Setting -> Change privacy settings -> Microphone -> Allow apps to access your microphone -> enable the microphone. This should resolve it.You can verify this visually, and also by using the Kinect Configuration Verifier in the Kinect SDK Browser.HTHMark in Brexshit Britain

Great, thank you John. best regards,Don

@ianps  A very advanced approach to this problem, that I believe should work near perfectly (although I am not aware of it ever being developed to this extent).Is to use Isadora's Javascript actor to utilize the box2dweb physics library (used in Angry birds and more). This video shows a Proof Of Concept I made some time ago, that is a good starting point to move ahead from. The idea would be to model the human body using primitives (shapes actor), and group these shapes in code to track as an object via box2dweb.Once the model is working as required, you can simply turn it off to save cpu cycles (I would put all the drawing into a User Actor), and only utilize the numeric data required for the collision detection.This is a fairly large job, but should allow for very accurate collision detection of anything that has a XY (even better if it can be described as a primitive, to allow collision detection on it outer edge) Attached is the Isadora file, and associated JS files, for the DEMO shown in the Proof Of Concept video.note: the JS code includes links to numerous resource sites, that I used to put this demo together. I suggest looking thru these to find examples of shape grouping. Box2Dweb.zip

Hi,I'm relatively new to Isadora and trying to use a Kinect to create some projects where I can interact with other objects in the space. I've followed the Isadora Kinect tutorial using Processing and have gotten the skeleton appear in my projection, but I'm struggling on how to get the skeleton to potentially interact with other objects in the space (such as shapes). It doesn't seem as if there are any actors that detect either edges or collisions. I had thought about using a comparator to see when the skeleton and shapes had the same positions (which would indicate a collision at which point I could change the trajectory of the shape) but it seems position is only an input and not an output that can be tied to a conditional. I had also thought about getting the position data of the skeleton from Processing (since the figure turns blue once in frame so the data is there) but I'm not exactly sure how to transfer it over to Isadora. Is there a method to create something interactive involving collisions with the Kinect using Isadora and potentially Processing?Thanks.

@luciedance said: Therefore would the min and max value be smaller number then I have identified Hi Lucie As I understand it, your out min and out max values should be the min and max values that you would like, ie -2 and 2 for the movie player.Try changing the limit-scale actor to those values and see if that improves thingsHTHMark (not that one...)

Here a complete description about this camerahttps://software.intel.com/sit...

Youu can only mainuplate the image in processing. It’s the processing code that is making the 3D visualisation. All syphon is doing is taking a copy of the output and sending it to isadora which is reciving a copy of image. So you can’t rotate the 3D image in XYZ space in isadora; only in processing.
