Example Usage

Get Sensor and Initialize

---

• Kinect node is a functionLibrary, this return the Class UKinectManager.
• Get Sensor is a method of that class and returns an array of connected Kinect (UKinectSensor class), in this example I take the first sensor found.
• Now we can initialize the sensor:

  • We need to pass a base material to apply later the rgb and deep textures.

  • The BaseMaterial need a Textureparameter named KinectTexture. (used to apply the buffer when creating the instance dynamic material.)

    

Get and Update Color and Depth Stream

---

• We use the method UpdateColor and UpdateDepth. (look at the picture above, also each material has been applied to Cube and Cube1.)

Update Skeleton Stream and get Joints Positions and Bone Rotations

---

• The function UpdateSkeleton set a structure array variable (skeletons detected).
  • Each structure contains:
    • JointPosition (array Vector)
    • Rotation Bones (array Rotation)
    • PlayerID (Skeleton ID)

Example bones

public declaration of license

Hey,

Thank you for sharing the code. Would you be so kind to add a public declaration of licence?

Greetings from Germany,

Felix

Hey buddy,I am a novice, and I want to ask for your help.

When I was using your project, there were several problems:
1 .When I was using Kinect_Skel, there was a problem of skeleton loss. And, PhysicsAsset does not exist.
2. Maybe it's because I just started learning UE4. When I used your plugin, there was a mistake in the Blueprint, but I couldn't find a solution.
Can you upload your project?
I hope to get your help. Thank you

how can I use skeltal?

Do I have to make the project an empty project or 3 person?
plz Tell me how to test the skeleton file in detail.

Problem including the plugin to existing project

Dear Sir,
Thank you for the plugin and i would like to ask for help in using this plugin.
I am using ue4.23, i am creating a new cpp empty project, and then i create the Plugins folder and copy your plugin ( the while folder as suggested) to Plugins folder.
When i lunch the project, i get this error: "XboxKinectPlugin could not be compiled.Try rebuilding from source manually".
(XboxKinectPlugin, is the name of the project i created).
I would like to ask if this plugin is only compatible with specific ue4 version?If yes, what are those versions?
If no, how can i solve my problem?Knowing that when i build the source code in VS, i am getting plenty of error in the code.
I hope you answer the question as soon as possible because i really need to try this plugin.
And thank you.
Edit:
I am using kinect v1.

How to get skeleton's bones position

Hey buddy

Thank you so much for this plugin, really cool !
I struggled a bit to make it work with UE 4.18, but finally it worked.
I can stream the RGB, Depth and Skeleton (Output Log).
Now, I'm trying to control an object with the movement of a tracked hand, but I'm getting lost :(
When connecting the Update Skeleton node, I get stuck with this message:
"LogScriptCore: Warning: Script Msg: Attempted to access index 0 from array 'FSkeletons' of length 0 in '/Script/KinectPlugin.KinectSensor'"

Any help please?
