Did you installed?

brew tap brewsci/science
brew install openni2
export OPENNI2_REDIST=/usr/local/lib/ni2
export OPENNI2_INCLUDE=/usr/local/include/ni2

Yes, they are installed and updated. The last two "export" functions made the following files/folders: /usr/local/Cellar/openni2/2.2.0-debian/lib/ni2 and /usr/local/Cellar/openni2/2.2.0-debian/include/ni2

Both contain drivers; the 'lib' has .dylib and .ini files, and the 'include' has a lot of .h files and folders for each OS. No errors with install.

Processing error reads: "SimpleOpenNI Error: Can't open device: DeviceOpen using default: no devices found" and consequently NullPointerException on "image(kinect.userImage(),0,0);"

Could you copy the drivers generated by libfreenect2 again in the folder of the SimpleOpenNI library?

Hi @totovr, I am having the same problem.

I installed Processing 3.4 and 3.3.7 and tried the installation process given here: https://github.com/totovr/SimpleOpenni/tree/Processing_3.4

I know that the connection works, as the library OpenKinect for Processing (https://github.com/shiffman/OpenKinect-for-Processing) works and returns data.

My setup is:

Operating system: Mac OS High Sierra
Version of Kinect: V2, model 1520

I tried reinstallation and changing the drivers… Do you have any idea what's wrong? I am always getting the same error message as above:

"SimpleOpenNI Error: Can't open device: DeviceOpen using default: no devices found" and consequently NullPointerException on "image(kinect.userImage(),0,0);"

Did you install Nite?

Sorry OpenNI

I did

brew install openni2

but did not know what

export OPENNI2_REDIST=/usr/local/lib/ni2 export OPENNI2_INCLUDE=/usr/local/include/ni2

meant. What do I have to do with those export statements?

Do I have to install Nite as well?

Just export OpenNI to your path

What do you mean exactly? Copy the library?

if I type

export OPENNI2_REDIST=/usr/local/lib/ni2
and then after that
export OPENNI2_INCLUDE=/usr/local/include/ni2
this does nothing

The sample of libfreenect2 works?

Yes, I tried the Protonect and all works fine…

as typing

export OPENNI2_REDIST=/usr/local/lib/ni2
export OPENNI2_INCLUDE=/usr/local/include/ni2

didn't do anything. I manually copied "/usr/local/lib/ni2" to "/usr/local/include/ni2". But this didn't help either.

Try to copy directly the .lib in the folder of SimpleOpenNI

Do you mean copying:

"~/libfreenect2/build/lib/"

to

"~/Documents/Processing/libraries/SimpleOpenNI/library/osx/OpenNI2/Drivers"

?

Yes

That worked!!! Thank you!

For everyone else who has this problem, do the following steps:

1. Go through the installation here: https://github.com/totovr/SimpleOpenni/tree/Processing_3.4 and make sure to include the installation of libfreenect2 and OpenNi.
2. Connect your Kinect v2, navigate to the folder you created for libfreenect2 and run the shell script "~/libfreenect2/build/bin/Protonect" to make sure your Kinect is working properly. You should get an image with all the video data. If not you can try to install the OpenKinect for Processing Library from https://github.com/shiffman/OpenKinect-for-Processing and start a example code to verify your Kinect is working. If you do not get an image, something else is wrong. If you are receiving an image proceed with point 3.
3. Copy all the files from the folder e.g. from "/libfreenect2/build/lib/" (including all the .dylib files) to your Processing folder "/Documents/Processing/libraries/SimpleOpenNI/library/osx/OpenNI2/Drivers". If a prompt asks you to overwrite the files, make sure to save a copy first and then overwrite them.
4. Then copy the complete folder "ni2" from "/usr/local/lib/ni2" to "/usr/local/include/ni2"
5. Restart Processing and you should be done.

This worked for me with:

Operating system: Mac OS High Sierra
Version of Kinect: V2, model 1520
SimpleOpenNi, libfreenect2, OpenNi
Processing 3.4
MacBook Pro

Hey guys, I'm having this similar problem but none of these options are working.
I'm running Mac OSX 10.14.4 and Processing 3.5.3
with a Kinect V2 1520
Would you be able to give me a hand?

getting this in processing:

SimpleOpenNI Version 1.96
After initialization:

SimpleOpenNI Error: Can't open device: DeviceOpen using default: no devices found

Can't init SimpleOpenNI, maybe the camera is not connected!

Hey @AnxiousBuddha,

• have you tried to run it with Processing 3.4? I think 3.5 is not supported.
• did you install SimpleOpenNI and OpenKinect extensions for Processing properly?
• did you exactly follow the full installation process here: https://github.com/totovr/SimpleOpenni/tree/Processing_3.4 ?
• did you copy all files generated through libfreenect from "/libfreenect2/build/lib/" to "/Documents/Processing/libraries/SimpleOpenNI/library/osx/OpenNI2/Drivers" ?
• did you copy the folder "ni2" from "/usr/local/lib/ni2" to "/usr/local/include/ni2" ?

It's most likely, that the necessary drivers weren't installed properly or do not lie in the right folders.

Thank for replying, Yeah, i've tried 3.4 and i've made sure that everything has been moved but I cant get it to function. I followed all of your steps the only think I had an issue with is in the steps

**Return to the first terminal, or in the libfreenect2 folder, and build:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
make install**

I got this
"CMake Error: The source directory "/Users" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
Reinaldos-MacBook-Pro:~ rbonet$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
Reinaldos-MacBook-Pro:~ rbonet$ make install"

when I try to run the shell script I get -bash: ./bin/Protonect: No such file or directory.

Not sure if that is an issue...

I do get the kinect working with openkinect libraries...
so the kinect itself functions.
