Kinect Viewer App



This is a simple Kinect viewer that visualizes the live depth and color frames as a 3D textured surface. It also shows the detected skeletons. It offers many choices for changing the resolution and type of the streams as well as controlling other parameters of the sensors, reading the current values of the accelerometer, and other features.

System Requirements: 1) The latest Java update must be installed and enabled in your computer, 2) You need to have a Microsoft Kinect sensor (works with any type of Kinect, Kinect for XBOX, Kinect for Windows, Kinect 2, or new Kinect), 3) The Microsoft Kinect SDK (version 1.0 or higher) must be installed in your computer.



The source code consists of the following files:
  • KinectViewerApp.java, the main class of the stand-alone Java application.
  • KinectViewerApplet.java, the main class of the Java applet version of this example.
  • Kinect.java, a class that reads the data from the Kinect sensor.
  • ViewerPanel3D.java, a class that visualizes in 3D the data.

    • The image below is a screenshot of the KinectViewerApp that shows a 3D visualization of the live depth stream. In the application, the live scene can be rotated by dragging your mouse or your finger on your touch screen.
