Installation Error with Creative Senz3D VF0780

Hi, I was trying to connect the Creative Senz3D camera (model VF0780) to my laptop, then play around with it using the Intel SDK.  

I had already downloaded the Intel RealSense Depth Camera Manager, as well as the Intel RealSense SDK. 

In my computer's Device Manager, it also detected the Creative GestureCam under Imaging Devices. 

However, when I went ahead with the installation instructions for both the Depth Camera Manager and the SDK, the installation failed and displayed the message saying that it could not detect a RealSense camera. 

Does this mean that the Creative Senz3D is not compatible with the Intel RealSense SDK? 

I think that this camera model may have been compatible with the Intel Perceptual Computing Developer Kit a while back. However, I can no longer find a download link for the kit on the Intel website. 

P.S. I even downloaded and installed the drivers for Creative Senz3D.

The Senz3D Camera is not compatible with the RealSense SDK. You need to download and install the Perceptual Computing SDK to work with that camera.

Take a look here for more information:

Thank you! @samontab 

I am installing the Perceptual Computing SDK right now, hopefully it will work with the Creative Senz3D GestureCam. 

I have also ordered the Intel RealSense Camera, so I will give both a try.
