Hi Emanuele,

Thank you for your post. Next update will support both of 32bit/64bit version of MATLAB. Concerning data recording, there are several options in Simulink:
1. To/From Workspace blocks
If you also have a Computer Vision System Toolbox, you can use
2. To/From Multimedia File blocks
3. Video To/From Workspace blocks

%% Description in Japanese
Simulink for NID は、IMAQ, Image, IR, Depth, Motion および Skeletonブロックから構成されており、OpenNIが対応しているデバイスからのリアルタイムデータ取得が可能です。Simulink for NIDの使用に際しては、32bitバージョンのR2010b以降のMATLAB製品をWindows7 32bit/64bit環境にインストールする必要があります。また、次のサードパーティソフトウェアが環境構築に必要になります:
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (VC++) Express Edition
- OpenNI SDK
- PrimeSense NITE
- OpenNIに対応したNID向けデバイスドライバ

Hi Takashi,

I am referring to the ONI files that can be recorded with NiViewer provided with OpenNI. These ONI files contain the various Kinect streams (depth and/or image). Using this patch it is possible to keep the same Simulink model and select to get data from a recorded ONI file or from the real sensor. It is useful for testing a model with consistent input (e.g. different users). The patch works by adding a FILE_BLOCK (7) to the S-Function dispatcher, and selecting it if the filename parameter of the mask is not empty.

It is even possible to have NiViewer recording data while using the real Kinect from Simulink.

Best,
Emanuele

I've made an update with two changes:
- support for MATLAB 64bit
- support for using recorded ONI files as input

There is now a new block for file input.
Another one allows mixed situation: if the filename is empty it uses the real-time input otherwise the recorded file.

Thanks for this greate package
