Nodejs library to access the kinect 2 data from the official MS SDK on Windows.
You will need to install the official Kinect 2 SDK before you can use this module.
You need at least node version 0.12 to use this module. Older versions do not work. Just use npm install:
npm install kinect2
If you want to use this module inside an electron application, you will need to build this module for electron usage. I've provided a build script which does just that.
You will need to have node-gyp & it's dependencies installed (https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp) before you can continue.
# cd into the directory of kinect2 cd node_modules\kinect2 # run my build script to create a native binary for electron npm run build:electron
var Kinect2 = require('kinect2');
var kinect = new Kinect2();
if(kinect.open()) {
console.log("Kinect Opened");
//listen for body frames
kinect.on('bodyFrame', function(bodyFrame){
for(var i = 0; i < bodyFrame.bodies.length; i++) {
if(bodyFrame.bodies[i].tracked) {
console.log(bodyFrame.bodies[i]);
}
}
});
//request body frames
kinect.openBodyReader();
//close the kinect after 5 seconds
setTimeout(function(){
kinect.close();
console.log("Kinect Closed");
}, 5000);
}
