How can I access the Kinect using Java?

Question

I am currently in a Computer Vision course and for my final project I am going to make a small game that interacts with the Kinect.

Now I want to make this game in Java

Answer 1

If you're using Processing I recommend using one of the available wrappers:

• Daniel Shiffman's OpenKinect Processing (using openkinect/libfreenect)
• SimpleOpenNI - Processing OpenNI wrapper

Both are well documented and include plenty of helpful examples.
