    Anybody try using a Kinect hooked up to their Udoo yet?

    I'd love to play around with those two, but I am at a bit of a loss as to where to start. OpenCV? OpenNI? etc.? Never messed with any of those. Would prefer something with a Python or Java API if possible,

    Just need some help getting started...

    I know there were some issues getting the Kinect working on the RPi, so just wondering if anybody has made any progress using the Kinect on the Udoo..

    OpenNi might be the way to go.

    Ok maybe this weekend I'll see if I can get something going. I have the book "making things see". But I don't remember if it covers openNI or the other driver for the kinect.

    Got the book myself!
    Since it's based on using processing (and the simpleopenni plugin ) you will not be able to interact with the kinect this way...processing is not (yet) running on the udoo.
    If i got any spare time tomorrow, i will investigate on alternatives

    Oh-contraire! I have processing 2.1 working just fine (except for the Serial port interface to the Arduino side). See in the "Arduino IDE" section of the forums...

    Poop. Looks like the simple-openni stuff that they use in the book only works on 64 bit Linux systems. When I try to do the examples inside of processing for the Kinect it complains that it needs to be run on a 64 bit system.

    As far as i can remember, there used to be an 32 bit version for Linux!
    Anyway since we are on Arm, you ' ll need to build the library yourself...
    Managed to get this done but am stuck on building the SensorKinect with at least two errors...

    Will setup a tut on getting so far if anyone is interrested! Looking forward to a bootable 12.04 Linaro to give it a try on the new system!

    Well, I'm also having errors in Processing with anything using OpenGL so that's not helping either... Going to try to work on that tomorrow...

    Anyone have the instructions on this setup? I too am interested in trying this out.
