Im trying to get the basic skeleton tracking. New to this but have openKinect working fine. Are there other libraries I need to install in order for SimpleOpenNI to work maybe?
Thanks.

FWIW I got it working using Processing 2.2.1 & the appropriate SimpleOpenNi lib.
ATB.

Hi @vowelmusic how did you get SimpleOpenNI to work? I have processing 3.5 installed and I always get an error message about the library not being installed properly. The way I installed it is by downloading the github and unzip and copying it over to the library folder. Please help I would like to have the hand tracking working for a project. Thank you!

I'm sorry I can't remember much about it now...
FWIW I got all my info from this youtube channel:

Hope this helps,

Hi @vowelmusic thank you! I watched the videos before and it doesnt use the SimpleOpenNI. Im just getting an error message that says libSimpleOpenNI.jnilib is not trusted and even though I trust it through the settings it won't work. :/

But thank you for the response

[vowelmusic]

I could only get the skeleton tracking stuff to work with Processing 2.2.1 on my machine.

@vowelmusic I will try with the 2.2.1 👍 and I will let you know :) thank you!

Yeah I still get "“libSimpleOpenNI.jnilib” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified." and Ive also accepted through my apple settings and the library still doesn't work.

Maybe this will help?:

Or try 'Get Info' on the file and change some settings there.
Other than that I don't know...

[vowelmusic]

Sorry to be so vague, but I think I may have had a similar issue - sure it was in the 'Get Info' settings...
Good luck.

Make sure the locked box isn't checked & change the permissions at the bottom...

@vowelmusic THANK YOU! I keep forgetting to unlock for permission and then locking it again. It is working fine now, I will test more with the Kinect but as of now it doesnt throw an error.

Happy days..:)
