Motion/depth sensor camera - Mac User
-
Anyone having success using a motion/depth sensor camera for a gallery installation that is native to or at least works very well with MacOS? I would prefer to use Isadora over TouchDesigner, but every camera I look into seems to run into issues with compatibility. Looking into Orbbec Astra 2 or Mini now but would be very grateful for recommendations (and success stories)! I am an artist and am new to this motion/depth sensor tech but highly motivated to figure it out. Currently on an Intel Mac but may upgrade to Silicon sooner rather than later if that makes a difference.
Thanks in advance!

My go-to is a Model 1414 Microsoft Kinect for Xbox 360.

The list of depth cameras compatible with Isadora's implementation of OpenNI can be found in the description of the plugin here: https://troikatronix.com/add-ons/openni-tracker/:
Compatible Cameras This plugin is currently compatible with the Kinect v2 (Kinect for Xbox One) , Kinect v1 (Kinect for Xbox 360, Models 1414 and 1473), the Orbbec Astra, and the Intel Realsense D435.
