I need to get my kinect device on to the list of cameras in skype. I tried this one, http://www.e2esoft.cn/kinect/, but it doesn't work. Maybe it's because I use OpenNI version 2.x.

I installed it as a PrimeSense device, as I'm not allowed to use Microsoft SDK.

May be I should write my own driver. But I can't find any source that covers webcam driver writing.

    You should use Windows Driver Kit: (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/gg487428.aspx). – Mark Garcia Oct 30 '12 at 06:06

  • I have the same problem with my Kinect device. I want it to work with Skype etc. but KinectCam.ax don't work with the newest MS SDK, that I need to use because of my project... If you solve that problem, please make me know here:) Thanks in advance! – Nickon Oct 30 '12 at 10:45

Here is another alternative that uses OpenNI drivers : http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/WebCam/Kinect-Virtual-Camera.shtml . If this doesn't work you can remove those drivers and install Microsoft Kinect SDK , you might find some options for Microsoft Kinect SDK .

PS: Writing a driver is a very daunting task . If you are a newbie it might take you weeks to just understand what goes beyond developing a driver .
