SLKinect2

• Latest Version is 2.0.2 (Release Version).
  • Bug Fix:
    • When Yellow Play Button is clicked, SLKinect2 v2.0.0 crashes with OpenNI-1.5.2.23 and NITE-1.5.2.21. (2.0.1) Please see http://www.nsl.tuis.ac.jp/xoops/modules/​d3forum/index.php?topic_id=74
    • When you are general user, all setting dialogs crash. (2.0.2)

• This is the second version of SLKinect.
• SLKinect2 sends animation data from Kinect to Second Life/OpenSim Viewer in real time using shared memory and over the Network.
• SLKinect2 supports 21 nodes on network. (If you need more nodes, you have to recompile SLKinect2 and Viewer)
• SLKinect2 supports Imprudence Viewer and Firestorm Viewer now.
  • There is very little change of source code. Therefore, if recompile is possible, it will work at other Viewers.
• We are searching nothing about network delay yet.
• Not support Save/Load of data yet. Those functions will be supported by v2.1.0.

Animation Relay Server (anm_server)

• Latest Version is 1.1.0 (Release Version)

• Animation Relay Server (anm_server) relays UDP packet from one SLKinect to all SLKinects of same group.
• We do not well know about server performance yet.
• We are running Animation Relay Server on silver-star.nsl.tuis.ac.jp:8200 for Test.
  • This is for Test. We support nothing.
