Is there a way to import Depth Map data and/or XEF files into processing for use in a point cloud?

I’ve seen a few topics on exporting, next to nothing on importing.

I’ve not got a working Kinect atm and plan on using saved XEF files in the near future regardless. Thanks.

I’ve never used this but I see here tools to convert the files to a point cloud: [https://github.com/xiaozhuchacha/Kinect2Toolbox](https://github.com/xiaozhuchacha/Kinect2Toolbox)
