Kinect support on Linux has a complicated history, there used to be various packages on Fuerte, Groovy and Hydro which they don’t work on ubuntu 14.10 and indigo. I’ve tried them all to find a working solution, so follow these step carefully and you will be able to read data from Kinect in ubuntu 14.10 and indigo:
1. Install the openni:
|
1 |
sudo apt-get install libopenni0 libopenni-dev |
2. Install primeSense sensor module for OpenNI

3. Launch the OpenNI

roslaunch openni_launch openni.launch |
[…] You need to install Kinect driver, if you don’t know how, follow my tutorial about that. […]
