How to make SimpleOpenNI to work with Kinect and Processing

sabolism

Hi everyone! I'm a complete beginner in Kinect - Processing integration and I stumbled to some issues. Trying to follow the book "Making things see" by Greg Borenstein and stumbled upon a problem of getting to run anything that involves SimpleOpenNI library. I'm using Processing 2.2.1 and SimpleOpenNI 1.96. Bellow I put code I'm trying to run and error message. If someone can give me an advice how to proceed I would be very grateful.

This is the sample code from the begining of the book and I was not able to get it running.

import SimpleOpenNI.*;
SimpleOpenNI kinect;

void setup() {
     size(640*2, 480);
  kinect = new SimpleOpenNI(this);

  kinect.enableDepth();
  kinect.enableRGB();

}

void draw(){
  kinect.update();
  image(kinect.depthImage(), 0, 0);
  image(kinect.rgbImage(), 640, 0);
}

The error message is: SimpleOpenNI Version 1.96

A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit: http://bugreport.sun.com/bugreport/crash.jsp The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code. See problematic frame for where to report the bug.

After initialization:

Could not run the sketch (Target VM failed to initialize). For more information, read revisions.txt and Help → Troubleshooting.
