Lab Book-Azure Kinect + Open3D + Windows 10

Create a capture workflow for my Azure Kinect and Windows 10 laptop.

Open3D seems like a good framework to use for my Azure Kinect experiments. I do have Visual Studio on my laptop due to Unreal Engine work, but I'm really looking for a bit simpler solution, and hoping the Python will work.

Getting Open3D and Python and Kinect SDK was a bit of a pain. The current version of Kinect SDK is 1.4, but Open3D failed with error couldn't load the DLL. So I downloaded binary distribution of 1.2 which worked without issue.

I also grabbed the Open3D examples from the main source from Github. There are a couple Kinect examples:

Capture

python .\examples\Python\ReconstructionSystem\sensors\azure_kinect_recorder.py --output test.mkv

Process MKV File

Not sure if this has been adopted to Azure Kinect, but great Kinect info is available.
