Has anybody been able to successfully get the skeletal tracking program to work on myRio using the kinect?

[Kimanig22]

I've tried hacking into the myRio system from:

 - Changing up the linux-rt feeds repository on myRio to the angstrom feeds repository in order to download necessary software e.g mono, glutfree

 -Bitbaking(github) the ipk packages for the OpenNI, Primesense software required for the Linux environment on myrio 

 -Downloading the OpenNI, Primesense zip packages onto my folder on the myRio /home/admin/MyFolder and trying to install them from there

All have been futile

Has anyone had success with regards to this skeletal tracking Idea using myRio?

Have you tried working with the Kinesthesia Toolkit? I know that these are VIs designed for specific use with the Kinect, and that other users have implemented them in their architecture for use with Kinect-based applications. I've thrown some links below that might be worth taking a look at.

From what I've read from the myRio+Kinect forums the Kinaesthesia toolkit uses the Microsoft drivers and these require ms

windows so it won't work on the myrio which is Linux based.

The Kinect itself also, to my knowledge, relies on drivers that require a Windows OS. The Community Page I had referenced (DOC-34889) comes the closest to being able to implement a Kinect in the context of the myRIO architecture itself, but that required use of the libfreenect driver:
