Kinect V2 to Isadora. State of the art

Skulpture

I have literally just got the installer for the first beta of Ni-mate V2 for Mac OS X - not sure when I will get the chance to try it out but it's here anyway. :)

Instead of paying you can get OSC of skeleton data from a windows machine for free there are a few apps here is one

https://github.com/microcosm/KinectV2-OSC

It uses the SDK natively so it is fast and reliable but no depth or image streams.

BTW I have used a hacked library that lets you get this stuff on mac, it is slow at the moment but getting better, maybe we will see it soon (although with some limitations)

Ni-Mate V2 - download the demo and check it out. :)

Like LPmode I'm using touchdesigner for this at the moment. Piping some video to Isadora via Spout.

Its seems like a pretty complete wrapper for the K4W2 sdk but I'm interested to see if Ni-Mate brings anything new to the table.

It has a kiosk mode which sounds interesting - ideal for installations perhaps?
