Possible to replicate RS Viewer?

EFoo — Fri, 05 Oct 2018 06:21:48 GMT

Hello there!

I am using the D435 and trying to create a custom application with it. Have tried Qt, but having some issues with it.

Hence, I would like to ask if it is possible to replicate the RS Viewer app, and if so, what libraries are used?

Thank you!

Like the rest of RealSense SDK 2.0, the RealSense Viewer is open-source and you can create your own custom version. The Viewer is available at the page linked to below. The dependencies used by the application are described on this page.

Hi Marty,

Yeah, but thing is the realsense-viewer.cpp and 3 other source files are not really well documented (code comment wise). Also, the README on the Github is the same situation..

Sometimes you just have to use trial and error experimentation to change one bit of code at a time and see what happens. In the mid-Eighties, this used to be called POKEing, because you poked at completely undocumented variables to see what a change did to the program.

If you'd like a possible alternative to QT and are using Windows, TouchDesigner have updated their TOP system (which manipulates camera image data) to work with D415 and D435.

Yes I have been trying.. this one is challenging to say the least!

Anyways, TouchDesigner is not quite what I am looking for but still, thanks for the suggestion. I believe the UI is built using ImGui, so its cool to see how it turns out!

Another application, that has been shown to work with D430, is the 'vvvv Toolkit'. If that does not meet your project needs either, I wish you luck with figuring out the RealSense Viewer code.
