Which Kinects will V2 support?

mCasual

The software for the kinect 360 ( which i call kinect version 1 ) exists , this forum thread was about that version

Since i recently bought a Kinect for XBox One ( which i call V2) and the PC interface,

i will write the same type of software for it

it's 2 things,

1 - a PC-Only .exe app which obtains the poses from the kinect ( i call it the kinect server )
2 - a Daz Studio script which launches the kinect server and animates a stickman according to the kinect poses

that same script is then used to convert the stickman animation into a daz studio figure animation

it was mostly compatible with pre-genesis figures, but possibly works with Genesis 1, 2 and/or 3

UPDATE 

my interface for the XBOX-One-Kinect-Sensor to Daz Studio started showing promising signs

( a PC-Only .exe app + a daz studio script )

i was aiming for a release tonight BUT i prefer releasing something very usable .... in May 2017

here you see the second test where the stickperson started moving ! under the Kinect V2 sensor control that is

 

Note: if you have the XBox One kinect sensor and your PC has the proper USB3 interface ( lots of compatibility worries there )

then these days, if i understood well, since Microsoft gave XBOX One owners the PC-adapter for free,

if you look on ebay, you can get it for $15 Brand new in the unopened package,

a few months ago it was $65 for a used one and some people were trying to sell them for $100 and more

The XBoxOne Kinect sensor itself is about $65 or $35 if you're lucky, but some sell them $100 and more

Looking forward to your V2 version. Any update on this?

i got a bit distracted ( weeks ! )

but i will come back to it,

if you check me gallery at deviantart you can see where i was earlier in the summer

it basically works like the V1, but i want the V2 to detect and prevent poses that dont make sense ex : inverted feet, super-twisted forearms

i completes say 90% the guitar prop i made recently ( one of the distractions from the kinect v2 project )

after i post the guitar on my site and/or the shareCG store

i'll complete the kinect V2 kit

it's compatible with genesis 8 female?
I ask why I tried the Xbox 360 with that base and the character moved quite a bit.
