Windows 10: Getting Windows 10 to recognise xbox 360 kinect as a webcam

Dear All,


With the current situation COVID-19 I am setting up a home office. Everything is great accept the webcam issue all sold out in the shops etc. I have pulled out an old xbox 360 Kinect and have had some success with installing it.

I have the drivers installed:



and can get my ugly mug to appear through OpenNI Virtual CAM



Windows 10 pics up the mic and I can record sound etc. But it does not detect a camera. The camera app, skype, zoom etc do not detect anything.


I have spent the last couple of evenings trying to get this to work to no avail. I have searched far and wide on these forums and reddit and tried several potential solutions but none have worked.


It is frustrating because I can get a picture it just seems like some stupid setting is stopping this from happening.


I have tried both Kinect SDK ver 1.7 and 1.8. Currently have 1.7 installed.


Any support or suggestions would be great.

:)

 

XBox 360 Kinect as Webcam

Is it still possible to use an xbox 360 kinect as a web camera in windows 10? I used to use it in windows 8 (i think) and it worked perfectly fine but now all of the applications like the browser, and the camera app show that I have no camera connected.
The strange thing though is that when I use the OpenNi virtual webcam application it works perfectly fine and I can see myself clear as day (only in the OpenNI Virtual Webcam app) but I can't seem to get other applications to use it as input. I think I downloaded
it from here https://falahati.net/component/attachments/download/18 .

Sorry to ask such an outdated question and if I have to I'll just buy a webcam but any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,

xbox one and kinect 360 games

We recently purchased an xbox one s and the xbox one Kinect sensor. I also purchased my kids xbox 360 Kinect games. Will these games work on the new Kinect one? Do I need to purchase an adaptor? I am so confused. When I search for xbox one Kinect games
nothing comes up but the xbox 360 Kinect games.

 

Making an Xbox 360 Kinect work on Win 10 x64?

I picked up an original Xbox 360 Kinext and USB/power adapter for under $15. I'd like to use it for 3D scanning but so far haven't been able to get it working.

I've found some old info, and a ton of people who have reading comprehension problems telling people asking about the Xbox 360 Kinect how to make the Xbox One Kinect work. *Banghead

I *could* put together a computer with Windows 7 to use it, but would much rather get it working on 10 on my laptop. I do have a white Xbox 360 but no games for Kinect.
