Revision history [back]

Now, yours is a slightly fresher approach to the problem; So far I haven't seen anyone discussing Kinect2 on Windows with ROS.

You will see this answer here , from @BennyRe, stating that, indeed, there is no current support for Kinect2 on ROS, that some people is indeed capturing data on Windows and using on Linux, but all on Windows... As I said, nobody really discussed for a while.

The limitation seems to be on OpenNI, which usually handles Kinect data; They still haven't figured out how to make it "talk" to ROS. Protocol. So, my educated guess would be that THIS needs to be developed, platform-independent. Not quite sure if this is what you are proposing though.
