Kinect - Depth stream + video stream into DirectX11 texture

Question

I am following the Kinect SDK tutorials and it seems to be working fine so far.

The problem I have is that it uses DirectX9 for the rendering and I wish to use DirectX11 instead.

I managed to get the actual depth and video streams into BYTE * but I need a way to convert it into a DirectX11 texture.

Has anyone done something similar to what I am trying to do? If you have some sample code it would help me a lot thanks.

Answer 1

Using DirectX11 for uploading kinect data is pretty straightforward.

There is an example here

Roughly on another simple way you can create your texture with dynamic usage flag, and then use map/unmap function to copy the stream data to gpu.

here is a little link about it.
