Finally... Yay !
This morning I finally got this work end to end with a streaming 3D point cloud. It was slow, but it worked ! The kinect is fast but the display is painfully slow. If a robot was using the 3D cloud, it wouldn't need a display anyway and there is probably display acceleration software I could be using like JOGL, but its a start !
Figuring out how to install all the pieces was not trivial, however Mitch's tutorial was the best. There was 2 "gotchas"..
The trunk of the KinectSensor project is not compatible with the trunk of OpenNI - you have to git a specific label (at the moment)
cd SensorKinect
git checkout faf4994fceba82e6fbd3dad16f79e4399be0c184
The other gotcha had to do with getting the Java 3D world to display - I didn't get any errors or other helpful info, but it would not display. Turns out (on Linux) the drawing process of the tabs adversly affects the Java 3D world view. If you simply detach the tab - "Ta Daa" it will display.
