Based on a previous post , I decided to write a plugin for the Intel Realsense SDK methods so we can use these methods from within Unity. FYI Intel also has their own Unity wrapper in their Github repository , but for our projects, I needed to perform image processing with OpenCV and passing the results to Unity instead of just the raw image/depth data. There is a plugin called OpenCVForUnity to use OpenCV functions from Unity but previous experiments indicate the image processing inside Unity can take a long time. I hope this post can help someone else who wants to use Intel's cameras or any other devices natively in Unity. Test Environment Windows 10 64bit Unity 2017.2.0f3 x64 bit Realsense SDK from Intel CMake 3.0 or higher Steps Checkout the native plugin code here . Don't worry about the other projects in the same repository. The relevant code is in the link above. Checkout the Unity sample project here . However, instead of master you need to go to the br...

During one of the projects in my company I needed to build a native plugin to let Unity communicate with the Asus Xtion2, specifically to get its depth data. We used to be able to do this pretty easily with the Kinect but since Microsoft discontinued it, we need to start looking for alternatives. Test Environment Windows 10 64 bit. Unity 2017.2.0f3 x64. Important! Choose x64 or x86 to match your Unity installation. OpenNI For Xtion2 SDK. The official SDK is somewhat different from the OpenNI SDK provided by Asus but it should behave the same. The one provided by Asus can be downloaded here . Make sure you choose the latest one. CMake 3.0 or higher Who is it for Someone who has been using Unity for some time and is comfortable with the concept of classes and objects. It will be very helpful if you know C++ and pointers too. Steps Since the code is provided, I will only go over the major steps. Let me know in the comments if I miss anything. Build and install OpenNI...
