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
