So,

I have videos from a Kinect v2 (.XEF). I know that when I open then o Kinect studio I can access on c#/c++ applications as a Kinect v2 camera. But, using the support package for Kinect in MATLAB does not see it as if there is a Kinect v2 camera. There is anything that can be done so MATLAB recognize the Kinect Studio device connection?

The matlab support package does not recognize the Kinect Studio connection as a camera. Thus, when I initialize the Kinect v2 camera object on matlab it is a just an empty object. That even if there is an open .XEF video playing on Kinect studio with an open connection.

The solution I’ve found: Kinect SDK has this functionality to open .XEF as an emulated Kinect camera, as like Kinect Studio. Thus I can use this on my C++ applications. That is great for development, because I don’t need to have a Kinect camera connect to my PC all the time.

Thus the solution was to create mex wrapper on c++ code that access the Kinect v2 connection and it’s functionalities trough the Kinect SDK.
