Microsoft Kinect v2 Driver

[Edwards, Shaun M.]

All,

If you saw the subject line and got excited that a Microsoft kinect[1] driver was available for ROS, I apologize. I am wondering if anybody is working on a driver. The best effort I can find is libfreenect2[2]. All other efforts I have seen rely on a bridging the kinect through a windows PC. It would be nice to have a native driver written for ROS/Ubuntu. I'd be interested to hear from anyone that is current working on a driver, or would be interested in supporting the development of one.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

jsk_libfreenect2 is a wrapper package for libfreenect2 and that is
available here:
https://github.com/jsk-ros-pkg/jsk_recognition/tree/master/jsk_libfreenect2

It may require jsk_common repository to compile.
https://github.com/jsk-ros-pkg/jsk_common

this is a demo movie.

Regards,

Shaun,

I know that our organization has already developed some interest
in the new kinect and its potential uses. We, and I think many others in
the ROS-Industrial community, would be interested in seeing this
capability developed. If it is as well received as its predecessor, then
it could be very exciting.

Thanks,

John Sherman
