We are about to switch to a new forum software. Until then we have removed the registration on this forum.
Hey guys, I have been trying unsuccessfully playing with the intel real sense and Processing, in the hopes of getting it to behave in a similar fashion to Kinect. I cannot access the data, though I can initialise the device, and Intel is withdrawing support for Processing and Java development it seems.
This leaves me in a bind. I need a depth sensor that is able to be small and mobile, without the need for external power. I know there are a few OpenNI2 compatible devices on the market from Asus (Xtion2) and Structure (Occipital).
Are these based on the same frameworks as Kinect? And are they potentially compatible with Processing?
Any insights greatly appreciated.
Best regards, Matt

I think what you need is a device that is java supported. Processing will just be the sugar coating. Check the following posts that explores the relationship between Processing and Java:

I let other people comment about kinect technologies. In the meantime, you can explore previous posts in the forum:

You can check Shiffman's channel as he has a set of videos (5) related to kinect and depth mapping:
