Yea, I'm coming from the same place as Sarah. Very new to OF, so it was hard to say if the problem was me or the addon! Also, I had to get familiar with Github but that's not relevant in this thread.
Like you @sarah_ I too ended up on Japanese blogs and using Google translate. (it is at this point where I began to question my sanity!!). @DomAmato, a tutorial is certainly needed on the installation of this addon. For me, the problem is that this is the first time I used OF so probably not the best way to get introduced.
As per the title of this post, the idea is to abolish the clunky calibration pose so that we can present our installations elegantly in a public forum. Up to this point, it looks like both of us have been using Synapse which works (once calibrated with the pose). It's good for a proof of concept stage.
Today, I will try to run the examples and see what occurs. I guess the best thing to do is keep posting on this thread until there is success. It will be of some help to somebody.
@sarah, did you manage to loose the pose?
@DomAmato the most recent fork that you linked to says it is for the OpenNI2 and NITE2 libs which put me right off attempting to use it as a lot of blog posts said these do not work on OSX without the original Microsoft SDK. That stuff is sorta beyond me right now.
Ok guys thanks for everything so far. I will post back with updates of my progress. I hope this is ok with you @sarah_ I still feel like I have hijacked your post!!
BTW: my kninect version is 'kinect for xbox (1414)' so at least I know that is correct!
