Hallo, I'm trying to run the SimpleOpenNI examples for Kinect using Processing 2.1.1 but it don't work. I recibe this message:

---

I have already worked with this Kinect in an other macOS 10.6, using Processing 1.5.1 and SimpleOpenNI Version 0.27 Do somebody have an idea, how to solve this problem? thank you! mariana

I have found that there are diferent Kinect models, and the Kinect for Xbox 360 Model 1473 should have a few problems reported and more or less solved here: https://github.com/OpenKinect/libfreenect/issues/316

....... but I don't understand how to apply it in Processing 2 !!??? could somebody help me???

What ever, I think that also the "right" Kinect model #1414 has problems to run in macOS 10.9 (mavericks) ... so I have two problems :(

Possible, this lik can be helpfull: http://blog.nelga.com/setup-microsoft-kinect-on-mac-os-x-10-9-mavericks/

thanks mariana

Have you got it to work? I can only make it work on older processing. not the latest. I am going to give it another try and move on to openframeworks C++ as I think I know how to make the kinect work with it using pure data . It SHOULDN'T matter, but unfortunately, nothing is working in terms of kinect :(
