hand-viewer sample problem

Hello,

I tried to run the hand viewer sample but it says 'failed to pair the gesture module with I/O'

Any solution?

That's probably because your

That's probably because your CPU is not a 4th generation Intel Core, or your OS is not Windows 8.1 64 bits.

Arun,

I have the same error with the hand sample on my machine. I have a 3rd gen processor, but I'm running the latest Windows 10 Preview. I'm not sure the problem is related to the CPU type because the sample does not even load in the hand module. If it loaded it in but could not run it then I might be more inclined to think it was due to the CPU.

Marty,

Marty,

Even I think so. Were you able to execute the 3dseg sample?

@samontab: is it running properly on your machine?

3DSeg and the face tracking

3DSeg and the face tracking do not work on my machine either.

Hi Arun,

No, 3dseg does not run on my machine. This is expected though, as I am developing on an Asus T100 (which only has an Atom processor). And as Marty added, face tracking also does not work.

Devices that do not meet the Intel SDK specs pretty much only have access to the raw data from the camera, plus face detection, voice recognition and speech synthesis. Anything else does not work from the Intel SDK for those PCs, which is, again, expected.

Having said that, by processing the raw data from the camera, I can replicate 3dsed correctly on my own app.

Hi samontab,

Hi samontab,

Thanks for your help.

Can you suggest how to implement the 22 point hand tracking by processing the raw data from the camera. Any insight would be helpful.

Edit: I tried the 1st tutorial https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/15/c4/Getting_Started.pdf. Here the output incurs an exception regarding 'libpxchand_core.dll'. Visual Studio says 'libpxchand_core.pdb' not located. This is mostly related to the hand module. Is this problem also associated with the processor generation?

Well, implementing a 22 point

Well, implementing a 22 point hand tracking by processing the raw data is not trivial by any means, but it is indeed possible :)

You could try using a 3rd party library like PCL or OpenCV to ease the development.

About your exception, I think you can't really use that library (libpxchand) any way, since your CPU is not supported, so don't bother with that. Just use the raw frames from the camera. That is the only thing that works for your CPU.
