any suggestion to use kinect with processing3 in windows 10? as I’ve been searching I’m becoming more disappointed that there is no easy solution to use openkinect library in windows.  
should I give up?  
What alternative libraries would you suggest?

Hi, I supose you already red this.  
Seems that windows stopped support for new windows versions. I am planning to buy a kinect and install windows 7 on a cheap ssd 32gb for that purpose.  
Edit: I found [this](https://channel9.msdn.com/coding4fun/kinect/Windows-Hello-with-the-Kinect-v2) link.
