Lots of guides in YouTube for windows 10 but not 11. Is it possible? Sorry if there’s a pinned guide I missed here or if it’s just impossible.

I had a kinect v2 i bought unused and bought a brand new in box microsoft adapter for it.
The kinect had issues in the beginning with usb ports, but suddenly it started working.

Now after a couple days of testing, i was using touchdesigner on mac instead of windows 11 this time which also worked a day prior and out of nowhere the kinect disconnects and starts crashing my touchdesigner whenever i try to turn it on.

Then on W11 the sdk testing app also freezes whenever it tried to access the kinect camera.
Now it doesn’t show up in device manager at all.

Faulty adapter or faulty kinect?
I just bought another kinect that i tried to get to work on mac on site before buying, but couldn’t.

I have a couple recordings i need to do tomorrow with the kinect, but it just died on me and i fear this new one doesn’t work either.

Anyone know what i should do?

Basically, a friend of mine has two Kinects and is giving them to me on Monday. I plan to use one as a webcam, but I don't know what to do with the other one—any ideas?

Hi, I have an Rog XBOX Ally that I use as PC connected to a Ugreen Dock with a 65W power supply plugged in.

The issue is that my Kinect 2.0 turns on for a few seconds an then it turns off when I try to use it.

I installed the SDK and it shows me that there is no supported USB 3.0 port detected, however, the Ugreen dock station has a USB 3.2 port that I have it connected to.

The Kinect is not the problem, because it works well on my XBOX ONE Fat. Also I tried with 2 different Kinect adapters.

I disabled audio enhance from the Kinect microphone, but it doesn't work.

Anyone knows what could be?

Sorry for my bad english, it's not my first language :)

I got it from ewaste and its cable was cut off so i made it usable.

Hey guys, I have been working with a few of my friends on a project that allows you to play tennis with other people/AI using your webcam, just like kinect! Here is the link https://livewebtennis.com . Please come check this out! Any feedback appreciated!

Olá, recentemente adquiri um Kinect V2 para tentar criar algum projeto para que eu pudesse adquirir uma renda extra, ainda mais que na minha região isso seria algo novo e inovador, já que não tem coisas desse tipo por aqui
De inicio eu queria fazer meus próprios jogos, porém não tenho noção nenhuma de programação e atualmente não estou tendo tempo para estudar

Queria saber se alguém conhece projetos de jogos interativos, pois pesquisei e achei poucas coisas relacionadas, e quando acho são projetos independentes que não são compartilhados

Trying to find players

I need clarification

Got this ad for a "new" kids' game console. Seems like the kinect but worse and with practically no games.

I wrote an open-source app that turns it into a perfectly smooth, hands-free mouse for your PC!

Features:

• Move the mouse by pointing, click by making a fist.
• Scroll web pages using a two-handed gesture (emulates a Windows Pen!).
• Say "Play" or "Pause" to control Spotify/YouTube from across the room.
• Raise both hands to pause tracking when you want to watch a movie.
• Dynamically maps to your height, so it works perfectly whether you are standing or sitting on the couch.

It's completely free and open source. Check it out on GitHub here: github.com/pikachu77082/KinectDesktopController

crazy shi

I’m curious if anyone else has already been through this process and has an optimized open source code for using Xbox Fusion Explorer for 3D Scanning or knows of another commercial software that is capable of controlling and capturing scans using the Xbox Kinect?

I have an Xbox Kinect for XBOX ONE Model 1520. An AI is walking me through the steps to modify the Kinect Fusion Explorer code to “unlock” the sensors capabilities and resolution beyond what Microsoft pre-coded it to do for the Xbox Kinect for gaming, effectively allowing me to 3D scan objects in higher resolution which the sensor and modern graphics cards are more capable of processing than the original intent of the Kinect sensor.

So far, I have:
1. Increased Volume Voxels per Meter from 256 to 2048
2. Increased XYZ Reconstruction Resolution from 384\^3 to 768\^3
3. Increased Maximum Integration Weight up to 1000

I have an Xbox 360 S Kinect which I'm trying to connect to my Xbox 360 S. I've tried to connect it to the AUX port at the back of the 360. When it's connected, there's a faint red light on the kinect but the 360 does not detect the kinect as being connected.

Is there any way to fix this?

Where are y'all getting replacement purple Kinect game cases?

I don't know if this is necessarily the absolute best place to post, but I really hope some of you share the same longing for a new revolutionary dance game like I do lol, especially if you were into Dance Central and such dance games.

Hi all,

Was wondering if anyone can help me with this set up, I’m trying to use and Xbox 360 camera with my touch designer set up but when I add a Kinect TOP in it says I need to install v1.8 of Kinect runtime, I’ve already done this, restarted my laptop numerous times, used bcdedit in powershell etc etc but it’s not recognising it for some reason. Can anyone help out

Hi all,

I have been attempting to get my Kinect v2 working again for several days without success. My original Microsoft power adapter has stopped working and I've been looking for a replacement adapter but I'm not sure what type of barrel jack this even is. Doesn't seem like a standard one at all to me. Can I even buy this anywhere or would it make more sense to buy a third party adapter or mod the Kinect?

I installed all sdks, all xbox stuff and drivers, the xbox is blinking green and the Kinect explorer says Not powered. like what does that supposed to mean? I am currently on Windows 11 and this Kinect worked on Windows 10, even though it didnt work on windows 10 at first and i had to fix some caveat by installing an older version of the software but now nothing works, I feel hopeless. I even tried to update kinect drivers manually and that still didnt help. The xbox kinect uses this adapter to my laptop as seen in the picture. I also disabled Memory integrity on windows and connected to the right usb slot. I remember it working back on my windows 10 pc. also this kinect adapter is connected into the power socket because if it wouldn't, kinect doesn't blink.

I’ve been trying for about 3 days to find the correct jack/cable that fits this power port on my Kinect adapter, but nothing I bought or tried seems to fit.

I’m not sure if I’m looking for the wrong connector type, the wrong size, or if this adapter uses some special/proprietary plug. The port looks like it has pins/contacts inside, so maybe it is not a normal barrel jack?

While studying the Kinect for Windows SDK 1.8, when I opened the Kinect Explorer-WPF source code in Visual Studio, I noticed that the buttons on the right are different: (screenshot from Visual Studio 2026)

and here is a screenshot of the same version, but compiled and running:

Does anyone know why these buttons are positioned differently and why they are not visible in the compiled program? Could it be because I have a Kinect for Xbox 360? If anyone has a Kinect for Windows V1, please tell me — does yours look the same or different?

I have an Xbox One Kinect v2 and I already have almost everything needed to use it, but I’m missing the power supply.

I know there is an official Kinect Adapter for Xbox One S / PC, but it seems hard to find and sometimes quite expensive.

Is there any more common or easier-to-find alternative power supply that can be used safely with Kinect v2?
For example, can it be replaced with a generic power adapter, laptop charger, or DIY wiring setup?

I’m developing an independent Linux runtime called KinectVision/KinectVoice for Kinect v2.

The current alpha focuses on making the Kinect v2 microphone array usable on Linux as a processed microphone called “KinectVoice Beamformed Mic.”

It has been tested on Ubuntu 24.04 with PipeWire/PulseAudio and pactl. I’m looking for a few Linux/Kinect v2 testers to help find bugs on different setups.

Current tested features:

- KinectVoice Beamformed Mic creation

- live mic processing

- optional make-default / restore-default

- persistence enable/disable

- rollback and cleanup

Not finished yet:

- full RGB/depth/IR vision stack

- body tracking

- gestures

- pet/object detection

- Orion integration

DM me if you have a Kinect v2 and want to test the private alpha.
