Last blog post, we mentioned that we had encountered some development issues. Those issues has been resolved this week!

When trying to merge the code from the Kinect to talk to the code created using MediaPipe & OpenCV, there were errors with the codes running together. The Kinect’s RGB camera would only run for a few minutes before crashing.

When testing it on a different computer, this issue resolved. Turns out, there was a hard drive issue on the previously tested computer. Therefore, no major change to the code was necessary. When the hard drive was cleaned of unnecessary files and programs, the Kinect stopped crashing. This lead to a speedy development of merging the two codes together!

We are making good progress as we continue to develop the code for actual gesture recognition! Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to QRB2!
