How to build

First of all, since this driver is based on the official Microsoft SDK, it will only compile on Windows 8. Additionally, even though this driver is shipped with a Visual Studio 2010 vcxproj file, it is required to use Visual Studio 2012 or higher in order to build it.

In order to build this driver:

1. Place 'Kinect2' folder under 'Source/Drivers' of OpenNI 2 source directory
2. Add 'Kinect2.vcxproj' to the OpenNI 2 Visual Studio solution
3. Build it as any other OpenNI 2 driver
