And what is the problem that you have ?? Are you using the new SDK driver ?

[Julio_HDT]

 i was try ti install sdk 64 from nicrosoft page, but it ask for OPEN NI, then i download OPEN NI, but there are many files, how install OPEN NI in my PC????

Follow instructions under link below,

SDK drivers are easier to install, but some of the older sample VI provided are using the OPENNI driver.

You can alway try and modify them to use SDK driver dlls

Guys, they are several links that you can use.

First of all, I have the drivers that I did, they work well, but we need to do a main program. They are not ready yet, if someone is interesed, let me know.

Second, we have Ryan's Drivers, with those drivers I did my program, go and check it out, it's quite interesting.

And the last but not the less important, the SDK drivers, I did a benchmark, and I modified a little bit the program. I still prefer Ryan's, compare yourself and use which best fit for your porpuse.

a first approximation to use the Kinect sensor is Kinesthesia Toolkit for Microsoft Kinect - the University of Leeds, Initially developed for medical rehabilitation and surgical tools at the University of Leeds, the Kinesthesia Toolkit for Microsoft Kinect helps experienced and new NI LabVIEW programmers quickly access the popular functions of the Microsoft Kinect camera such as RGB video, depth camera, and skeletal tracking.can be downloaded from the following link

here have a developed based on the OpenNI Interface example, you can compare it with the previous example developed for microsoft SDK

LabVIEW Kinect Interface from Labview Hacker is recommand:

https://www.labviewhacker.com/doku.php?id=projects:lv_kinect_interface:lv_kinect_interface

It works at Windows 8.1 enviroment.

The Labview loads data directly from MS Kinect driver and then displays image

LabVIEW Kinect Interface needs NI vision, it could be a limited.
