# Azure-Kinect-Python
Python 3 bindings for the Azure Kinect SDK
## Changelog
- v1.1.0: Updated supported SDK and firmware versions to latest
- v1.0.0: Initial release
## Setup
Install the Kinect SDKs, update device firmware version if needed:
* [Sensor SDK v1.4.1](https://github.com/microsoft/Azure-Kinect-Sensor-SDK/blob/develop/docs/usage.md#installation)
* [Body tracking SDK v1.0.1](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/kinect-dk/body-sdk-download)
* Device firmware version must be at least 1.6.110079014 or higher.
If on Linux, ensure the relevant `k4a.so` and `k4abt.so` dynamic libraries are on your path.
## Feature support
Currently only body tracking is wrapped, but adding further wrappings should be easy and PRs would be appreciated!
## Examples
There is a very simple example you can run via:
```sh
py -3 example/simple_sample.py
```
## Demos
We are using it to develop an Azure Kinect plugin for [Blender](https://blender.org), which you can see a very early demo of here:

The plugin is available for early access and will be open-sourced soon, please email [email protected] to gain early access.
## Troubleshooting
### Do NOT use Python from the Windows Store
If you get the error:
```
[2021-01-18 14:05:28.307] [error] [t=6336] [K4ABT] D:\a\1\s\src\TrackerHost\TrackerHost.cpp (157): Create(). Find onnxruntime.dll at C:\Program Files\Azure Kinect Body Tracking SDK\tools\onnxruntime.dll but it doesn't load correctly!
```
It is because the Windows Store installs Python to a restricted user directory which cannot access external DLLs.
