Download the KinectXMLs file and unzip. You should see something like the following: Navigate to the Device Manager (Control Panel). 
Wait until the driver software is found and applied. Plug in your Kinect device and connect its USB port with your PC. If you have trouble installing the unstable releases, just try the stable ones. Step 3ĭownload and install the latest stable or unstable OpenNI Compliant Middleware Binaries (NITE) from OpenNI website.ĭuring installation, provide the following (free) PrimeSense key: 0KOIk2JeIBYClPWVnMoRKn5cdY4= Step 4ĭownload and install the latest stable or unstable OpenNI Compliant Hardware Binaries from OpenNI website.īoth stable and unstable releases have worked for me. Step 2ĭownload and install the latest stable or unstable OpenNI Binaries from OpenNI website. Run dpinst-x86.exe (if you have a 32-bit processor) or dpinst-amd64.exe (if you have a 64-bit processor).ĭrivers are now installed in your PC. Open the unzipped folder and navigate to Platform/Win32/Driver. Uninstall any previews drivers, such as CLNUI. Look at the end of this post if you want to see how you can have multiple drivers installed. OpenNI and NITE installation can be painful if not done properly. This means that we can now have access to features such as real-time skeleton tracking, gesture recognition, wave detection and much more! But the main problem remains: Kinect magic is its software and the device simply cannot give us all those body-tracking algorithms by itself.įortunately, PrimeSense, the company behind Kinect, released OpenNI framework and NITE middleware. Obtaining both the raw and the depth image, it is easier to build Machine Vision applications. Via these hacks, we gain access to Kinect’s cameras (color and depth), LED, accelerometer and motor. Programming for Kinect is even greater! Browsing the web, you can find many cool “hacks” ( CLNUI, OpenKinect) which allow Kinect be used by a PC rather than an XBOX. Playing Kinect games is a really great experience. 
By doing so, we would like to advocate and promote the development of programs by developers worldwide. We wish to share this article to educate the Kinect community on how to install the Kinect to their Personal Computers. The article is an unedited version of Vangos Pterneas’ guide to installing Kinect to your PC. This guide and any associated source codes and files is licensed under The Code Project website and also under the Code Project Open License. This comprehensive guide to install Kinect drivers and programs in your PC was made by Software Developer Vangos Pterneas, a student of the Athens University of Economics and Business, Department of Informatics.
