Hi guys, I’ve used unity for a few weeks now and now I’m trying to develop a kinect game. I tried searching for assets/plugins for using kinect V2 in unity however I haven’t found much because kinect V2 is not backwards compatible with SDK 1.8 which is what many of the plugins use.
The only plugin that might work is https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/19873 however I get a bunch of errors trying to run it and they are in Japanese so I don’t know what they mean.
And this tutorial which shows what I want to begin coding, but not how to link the API. http://channel9.msdn.com/coding4fun/kinect/Kinect-for-Windows-v2-SDK-and-Unity-3D.
I found that the kinect sdk 2 has unity support (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn782041.aspx) but I only have the free version of unity. I am planning on buying unity pro however I would like to know how to actually link the two.
If someone can help me find a plugin that works, that would be much appreciated. I am also willing to learn how to create a plugin. All I am looking to get the (x,y,z) positions of the persons hands and I already see that kinect does most of that work for you with the API so it shouldn’t be that hard to make a plugin I suppose.
Anyways I’m going to keep looking and I’ll check back later to see if anyone has any updates. I’m just really surprised that there are so little kinect V2 game tutorials out.
