vizard 4 with kinect
 
I saw a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olUZZt-gnCw and I'm very interested in use vizard with kinect, so my question is what libraries did you use in this application?
and maybe if you could provide some guide to use it with vizard :D

Got it working. The FAAST installation instructions were a little unclear; the SensorKinect Module installer didn't install the drivers into the system, it put them in the PrimeSense Program Files directory. When I plugged in the Kinect it complained that the drivers weren't installed and I had to manually direct it to "Program Files\PrimeSense\SensorKinect\Drivers". Three time, once each for the motor, audio, and camera components.

Also, I had to modify the Vizard script in the article, adding:

Code:

viz.MainView.setPosition( 0, 0, -3 )
viz.MainView.lookat( 0, 0, 3 )

...to get anything to show up.

This was on a 32-bit XP system, I couldn't get FAAST to launch on 64-bit Win7.

I was able to get it working on my 64-bit Win7 last weekend. I did have to do one thing different. On the FAAST site it says to download the latest unstable version of the OpenNI and NITE applications. I did that, and it looked like it was working, but it would never send any data. I backed off to the latest stable releases and everything started working.

I ran into the same problem as JimC on XP where I had to manually add the drivers, but everything worked automatically on Win7 for me.
