Version 0.10 of pix_freenect external for Pure Data/Gem now available.
Sourcecode and binary for OSX and Ubuntu 11.10 available at github: https://github.com/kronihias/pix_freenect

Look at this page if you don’t know how to install a Pd-External.

The pix_freenect external can output rgb and depth simultaneously from multiple Kinect sensors.

Features:

  • open specific Kinect sensor by serial number – useful for multiple Kinect installations
  • output registered depthmap -> rgb and depth image are aligned
  • output depthmap directly as 16 bit [mm] values
  • resolution of rgb image can be set to 1280×1024

To get audio streams you can use http://github.com/kronihias/freenect_audio.
