Welcome @Sourabh1801

Please use the pre-formatted button ( **\</\>** ) for any code that you share on the forum; this will wrap it in triple-backticks (```) so it’s properly formatted.

I don’t have openkinect\_processing installed on my system, and I couldn’t test this. Your code appears translated from Java to Python, and there are some lingering Java elements. Try something like this instead –

```python
add_library('openkinect_processing')

def setup():
    global kinect2
    size(512, 424)
    kinect2 = Kinect2(this)
    kinect2.initDepth()
    kinect2.initDevice()

def draw():
    background(0)

```
