The type or namespace name `Kinect' does not exist in the namespace `Microsoft'

Question

I am using Unity to develop a game and I want to use Kinect so I add a reference to Microsoft.Kinect.ddl and I have the following code (nothing impressive):

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using Microsoft.Kinect;

public class Main : MonoBehaviour {

    // Use this for initialization
    void Start () {
        print(KinectSensor.KinectSensors.Count);
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update () {

    }
}

Visual Studio does not mark any error but when I am trying to run it using Unity I am getting a compilation error The type or namespace name Kinect does not exist in the namespace Microsoft . Any idea how can I fix that?

Answer 1

See this page for using the SDK with unity. It does have some obvious errors though (as pointed out in the documentation.)

Answer 2

I am using k2examples asset from the asset store, and I ran into the same problem... since you are not using the same asset, this might not solve the problem, but you can give it a try:

import the standard assets.
