I have installed 32 bit versions of openNI, sensorKinect and NITE on my 64 bit windows7 laptop. So, technically it is optional but most of them install it as it doesn’t take much extra effort. Hence if you just want to work with depth images and pointclouds you wouldn’t necessarily need to install NITE. NITE is a skeleton tracking library that can be used by developers to create gesture interactions etc. In simple terms OpenNI and SensorKinect are the drivers that help to access RGB-D data from Kinect. In this tutorial we would be installing OpenNI, SensorKinect and NITE. But since the Microsoft’s sdk is only for non commercial use, many developers love to use OpenNI sdk. Two competing frameworks to work with Kinect are Microsoft Kinect’s sdk and Prime Sense OpenNI sdk . I am assuming that you have Microsoft kinect and the adapter ready with you. It took me sometime to get the installation done so just thought of making a little tutorial that would help other folks.
