iBotModz_Bot Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 Marcan released the first Open Source Drivers for Kinect:Horribly hacky first take at a Kinect Camera driver. Does RGB and Depth. main.c implements a simple OpenGL visualization. Hopefully it should be mostly self-explanatory... You pretty much just open the USB device, call cams_init(dev, depthimg, rgbimg), and your depthimg and rgbimg callbacks getcalled as libusb processes events. TODO:- TONS of cleanup. I mean LOTS.- Proper buildsystem (CMake probably)- Determine exactly what the inits do- Bayer to RGB conversion that doesn't suck- Integrate support for the servo and accelerometer (which have already been reverse engineered) BIG TODO: audio. The audio chip (the Marvell) requires firmware and more init and does a TON of stuff including the crypto authentication to prove that it is an original Kinect and not a clone. Who knows what this thing does to the incoming audio. This should be interesting to look at.Official Site: http://www.marcansoft.comDownload: herehttp://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/FRhnzomGPIYqGGT6rkP5Y3u1uRQ/0/dihttp://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/FRhnzomGPIYqGGT6rkP5Y3u1uRQ/1/di View the full article
iBotPeaches Posted November 10, 2010 Report Posted November 10, 2010 Very cool. Amazing that it already has drivers for non-xbox use.
