SDK, Camera and 3rd Generation Processors

[steve-vink]

I have read a couple of threads that indicate that some functionality of the SDK (e.g Emotion) will work on 3rd Generation processors, and even on a standard RGB camera. Other things (e.g Hand recognition)  require the Haswell 4th Generation processor.

My question is...will the camera initialise and work with the subset of functions on a 3rd gen processor, or will it not initialise at all?

I have not yet taken delivery of the developer kit, so I can't try it!

Thanks in advance

Intel RealSense SDK officially supports only Intel 4th generation processors and up

Well..yes and no.

I'm currently using the SDK to recognise emotions, and also using voice recognition, on a third generation processor.

So there are 2 subsets of processes - those that need a 4th gen processor, and those that don't.

So the question is, will the camera fail because it needs the 4th gen command set to initialise, or will it successfully connect if no 4th gen reliant commands are issued?

I second this question. I've recently received the dev kit. The camera is detected but failing to initalize. I'm using an intel cor i5-3570k processor.
