Hi all,

Please make sure about the following steps to solve installation issues:
1. Make sure that all SDK (VC++, Windows SDK, Kinect SDK/OpenNI) are installed properly
2. Make sure that VC++ is set as mex compiler
>> mex -setup
3. Read document in the Simulink support Kinect.

Additionally, I recommend to install MATLAB under the directory without spaces because of mex compilation with third party SDKs.

Concerning Windows8, I have never used Win8, so unfortunately, I can't answer your question.

OK. You specified the wrong path for
SIMULINKFORNIDKINECTSDKPATH = 'C:\Users\EDP\Documents\MATLAB\simulink_support_for_kinect_0.6.0\slkinect\Lib';

It has to be the path to MS Kinect SDK (not Simulink support for Kinect).
In my case,
SIMULINKFORNIDKINECTSDKPATH = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Kinect\v1.6';

Please check the MS Kinect SDK could be installed properly.

Hi Samuel,

ASUS Xtion PRO Live does not support for Mac OS X, only support for Win/Linux according to ASUS, so it is a known restriction by ASUS (neither OpenNI nor Simulink for NID)

Dan,

You could connect the signal output of the Skeleton block to a "To workspace" Simulink block. This will save the output of your simulation to your current MATLAB workspace. You can then access joint data as a 20x3xN matrix (where N is the number of frames in your simulation and assuming you are using the Windows kinect runtime).

Hi Takashi,
I'm getting the same error (Invalid >MEX-file '...\Lib\sfun_pcv.mexw64': The >specified module could not be found). Have you had a chance to fix the error yet? If yes, looking forward to how I can fix it as well.

Also, if I wanted to add a 'Video to Workspace' block after the Pointcloud block, would it be possible? There isn't a output port. Is there a way to extract the XYZ data?
