React Kinect Point Cloud with Websocket Server

USE THIS REPO FOR DEVELOPMENT 9/29/23

https://rjw57.github.io/freenect2-python/

Getting started

0. make sure the kinects are plugged into different ports
1. yarn build
2. Update the paths of the assets in the build/index.html to have dist infront (ie: <link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" href="/dist/vite.svg" />)
3. conda activate kinect2
4. python server.py
5. navigate to localhost:8000

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. If there is an error relating to "geometry" try running in a incognito browser or clearing cache

MALLOC ERROR:

error is appearing int the libraries queue function. I changed the BLOCK call to PUT and it seems to work. See the last line in this code block.

        If optional args 'block' is true and 'timeout' is None (the default),
        block if necessary until a free slot is available. If 'timeout' is
        a non-negative number, it blocks at most 'timeout' seconds and raises
        the Full exception if no free slot was available within that time.
        Otherwise ('block' is false), put an item on the queue if a free slot
        is immediately available, else raise the Full exception ('timeout'
        is ignored in that case).
