KINECT IN FACERIG: HELP!!!

[MattiMobi]

I connected the kinect cam and it worked well on Skype, but then facerig messed it up in skype, it just showed the facerig logo. i know kinect cam dont work on facerig because of the depth-stuff, but does anyone know how to delete this depth-thing or know how to make the kinect work on FaceRig??!!!

@MattiMobi:
hi there. did you install any middleware for kinect in order to make it work on skype? kinect can be made to work as a regular webcam on a pc by installing some middleware that add directshow filters for it. i managed to make it work with a thing called "OpenNI virtual cam" but it is quite buggy.

Facerig does not directly support kinect (with depth sensor and all; as well as other depth sensor cameras) but you can find hacks on the web that allow kinect to work as a regular webcam (for skype, etc) but these can`t be guaranteed to work well.

could you also send us a screenshot with the skype feed you are getting from facerig?

@marete
How do u make it work with the OpenNI Virtual Cam?

[marete]

could you please answer my previous questions? if you already used kinect with skype it is possible that it might already be able to work with facerig. i need to know that so i can check the middleware you re using; maybe it can be made to work with facerig as well.

to install openNi virtual cam you can follow the instructions here: link [falahati.net]. but as I said above it is buggy and does not work that well

Oh... sorry, i deleted that program and installed the openNi instead :/
