title: How can I access the Kinect using Java?
body: <p>I am currently in a Computer Vision course and for my final project I am going to make a small game that interacts with the Kinect. </p>
  
  <p>Now I want to make this game in Java as I have never really ventured into making a game before and I am very comfortable with the Language. But I cannot seem to find a way to just access the Depth data (I just need to pack it into some Java Data structure) and the RGB data (same idea).</p>
  
  <p>Right now, I have a way to 'talk' to the Kinect. I followed <a href="http://openkinect.org/wiki/Getting_Started#OS_X">this</a> tutorial and can detect the kinect using the command <code>glview</code> in terminal. </p>
  
  <p>I have a thing called <a href="http://processing.org/">Processing</a> which promised to be a Java library to let me use the Kinect but it is using it's own language which is 'built' using Java so it's not really Java which means I can't use all the GUI and normal Java features. </p>
  
  <p>What I want to do is somehow call some <code>import random.Kinect.code;</code> at the top of the Java program that lets me use the most basic Kinect features, like getDepth() or getRGB() and do everything else in Java. </p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know a way I can do this? (BTW I'm running MAC OSX Lion)</p>
