kinect - How can I display .xed files in Linux? -


using microsoft kinect sdk 1.x, possible record rgb-d video kinect studio, , save recordings in .xed files.

is there way open , view recordings in linux-based distribution, such ubuntu?

xed files based on proprietary format, , knowledge there no "players" format, except kinect studio.

so possibility display xed files in linux install kinect studio... on linux.

this possible using wine, allows execute windows application on linux. here how install wine , configure execute kinect studio on linux distro (i have tested on ubuntu mate 15.10, should work in other distros).

get kinect studio

kinect studio part of microsoft kinect developer toolkit, not need install toolkit on linux. indeed after installing on windows, can kinect studio files, , copy them linux.

so first of should download , install microsoft kinect developer toolkit 1.8 here (which requires preventively install microsoft kinect sdk 1.8), , execute installer. then, find kinect studio .dll , .exe files in c:\program files\microsoft sdks\kinect\developer toolkit v1.8.0\tools\kinectstudio. files are:

  • kinectstudio.exe
  • kinectstudioconnector32.dll
  • kinectstudioconnector64.dll
  • kinectstudionative.dll

we should copy files our linux distro.

this thing have on windows. can switch on linux.

installing wine

on linux, need install wine winehq repository (and not our distribution repository). following instructions ubuntu, installation on other distros documented in this page.

  1. if our system 64bit, must enable 32 bit architecture:

    sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 
  2. add winehq repository:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wine/wine-builds 
  3. update packages:

    sudo apt-get update 
  4. then install wine , winetricks:

    sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-staging && sudo apt-get install winetricks 

to present, install wine 1.9.2 (staging):

$ wine --version wine-1.9.2 (staging) 

after installation, before executing wine, must add global environmental viariable:

export winearch=win32 

if, mistake, execute wine or winetricks before above command, should delete .wine folder (which in home folder), , execute above command.

installing .net packages winetricks

now, must install .net packages via winetricks, extremely useful tool install , configure libraries, dlls , more correct execution of windows applications on wine.

because have installed winetricks (which available in distro repository), can proceed follows:

  1. winetricks msxml3

    while installing package, possible script asks download file, copy on folder , re-execute script. must follow these instructions before continuing next step.

  2. winetricks dotnet45

    this automatically install .net framework, starting version 2.0 until 4.5. should follow installation steps, , complete them have working fine.

executing kinect studio

now, after having copied kinect studio files in single folder (for instance /home/myname/kinect studio), let's open terminal , execute following:

wine '/home/myname/kinect studio/kinectstudio.exe' 

and see kinect studio on our linux desktop, ready open .xed file need visualize.
