Peter (RL) (2/21/2012)I think there has been a misunderstanding.
It doesn't say customers should not upgrade their version of iClone past 5.11.
It states you can't use the latest Microsoft Kinect SDK (with v5.12) unless you have a Kinect For Windows device. You can still have iClone 5.12 installed and use a Kinect For Xbox sensor. In this case you must install the orignal Open NI based SDK or the Micorsoft Kinect SDK Beta. All of which are available from within your account.
Hi Peter,
I'm posting in this thread so as to avoid starting another debate in the new "clarification" thread you created. There's a few additonal "clarification" points that need to be added in your new thread; these are:
#1 - OpenNI Driver Solution
Q: Will RL continue to support this solution until, at the very least, the next major release of IC5 and/or MOCAP software?
Q: Will RL look to improve this solution to provide Auto Floor Calibration and Wrist/Head Movement?
#2 - MS SDK BETA 2
Q: Can RL confirm that the SDK BETA2 will not expire at a preset time in the future - i.e. will remain available for download and be installable? Understanding of course, that this is for research purpose; not to be used for commercial purposes as per MS restrictions.
Q: MS no longer supports the SDK BETA2 as the "Official" SDK has released. Will RL continue to provide support for SDK BETA2 and based on RL's agreement with MS, is this permitted?
#3 - "Official" MS SDK 1.10
Q: Will RL actively maintain/support updates to the SDK runtimes to ensure that the latest version of the drivers are always available in IC5 and/or MOCAP software?
#4 - IC5 Updates
Q: Will future IC5 updates always provide backwards compatibility/support for OpenNI and SDK BETA 2?
#5 - MOCAP Software Updates
Q: Will future MOCAP Software updates provide backwards compatibility/support for OpenNI and SDK BETA 2?
