[ANSWERED] Kinect 2 compatibility for mac
-
Hello! Pretty new to using Isadora for interactive video.
I wanted to ask if the Kinect 2 is compatible for Mac? I'm using Isadora Version 4
Massive thanks in advance

The Kinect 2 works with the OpenNI Tracker addon (TROIKATRONIX : ISADORA - OpenNI Tracker)
Be sure to read the READ ME instructions, as different devices require slightly different configurations.

@dusx Great thanks for the help and link!

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
