Hi,
I recently got a hold of an old Xbox 360 Kinect that a friend of mine wasn't using anymore so I started to wonder what interesting things I could do with it, and that's how I heard about Kinect + Processing + Arduino. The thing is I can't get the SimpleOpenNI library to work on my computer.
I am running Processing 2.2.1+ OpenNi 2.2 + SimpleOpenNI 1.96 + Kinect SDK 1.8 on a Windows 8.1 64bit PC.
I install the library just like the google code page says and it installs correctly (or so it looks like), but whenever I try to Run the example code from the google code page I get the following error message:
I tried using different versions of processing, different versions of simpleopenni, different versions of openni, but ALWAYS get the same error message.
Has anyone here had such a problem? I would greatly appreciate any input on the subject.
Thanks in advance, Cesar

I have this problem too and can't solve it for a long time... have you found a solution?
try using processing 1.5 and report how it going... in my experience, the version of SimpleOpeni 1.96 works but don't let you export a functional application, but if you work with the 0.27 version, you will be able to export and make executables programs.
same here man. I'm gonna travel to NY to look for answers
Can you run the example sketches under File->Examples ... Contributed Libraries?
windows 7, processing 1.5.1, java1.7, kinect Xbox360 everything works fine for me. As i have done that 3 years ago i dont remember exactly the process but i am sure that it is not straightforward, you have to manually copy some folder. If you are interested i can have a look at that asap. Exporting the app is possible but with a weird workaround also. If i remember you have to modify yourself the jar. What i am sure is that the exported app is not really a standalone because it uses absolutepath towards library on the computer. Not found anyway to change that till now...
Hmmm... have you tried installing the 1.54 boost libraries?
@mcWolfB=== dont remember, i ll tell you that tomorrow after having given a look to the app.
