Hello. I woud like to ask few question and I have emailed it to info@sandbox-eu, so hope you guys can reply it. Btw, my main question is it is possible to run the software without the hardware such as the 3D camera? Can I run it in my desktop only?

thank you in advance.

Regards

Hello Fiaz,
Basically, you can run software without a 3d camera (Kinect) on your desktop, but… only thing you will see is a flat surface in one colour. I don’t see a purpose for such a test. For me it would make sense if you had a Kinect emulator, but it would be also difficult because mapping is based on the projector and camera orientation in real space.

Maybe write what you want to achieve an maybe we can work out something.

Regards,
Bartek
