Connecting a Kinect 1 to TouchDesigner
Originally Kinect cameras were developed by Microsoft for their Xbox game consoles. They have a build in depth sensor and recognize certain body parts. They published versions for Xbox and later also for Windows. The lastet and way more expensive one is the Kinect Azure. I bought a Kinect 1 for Windows because for using it on a PC the Kinect needs some special USB power plug that comes with this Windows version.
After installing some drivers and setting the Kinect CHOP in TouchDesigner to the correct version it was good to go. There are also nice developer tools by Microsoft you could use for testing the Kinect.
