This is a tutorial for getting OpenSceneGraph 3.0.1 *and* the Microsoft Kinect working together with Visual Studio 2010.

Prerequisites:

First, you'll need Visual C++ 2010, which can be downloaded here.

You'll also need the latest version of Microsoft's Kinect SDK, which can be found here.

Please follow the instructions listed on this website.

Right-click the Visual Studio 2010 Project and click Properties.

•Under C/C++ > Additional Include Directories, add "$(KINECTSDK10_DIR)\include".

•Under Linker > Additional Library Directories, add "$(KINECTSDK10_DIR)\lib\x86".

•Under Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies, add "kinect10.lib".

#include <NuiApi.h> // Add this to the top of your .cpp file

Note* : depending on where and when you installed the Kinect SDK, the names of the files and file paths above may differ,

so please double-check that all letters match *your* files and file paths. (i.e. you may need to capitalize the K in kinect10.lib -> Kinect10.lib).

If obj files are taking more than a minute to load, consider converting them to osgt format.

Once you have osg installed, in the command prompt, go to the directory with your model files and type osgconv *.obj *.osgt,

where * is the name of the file, (example usage: osgconv campus.obj campus.osgt)
