Library context to find and open devices.

You will first find existing devices by calling enumerateDevices().

Then you can openDevice() and control the devices with returned Freenect2Device object.

You may open devices with custom PacketPipeline. After passing a PacketPipeline object to libfreenect2 do not use or free the object, libfreenect2 will take care. If openDevice() fails the PacketPipeline object will get deleted. A new PacketPipeline object has to be created each time a device is opened.

Parameters
usb_contextIf the libusb context is provided, Freenect2 will use it instead of creating one.

Must be called before doing anything else.

Returns
Number of devices, 0 if none
std::string getDeviceSerialNumber ( int  idx)
Parameters
Returns
Device serial number, or empty if the index is invalid.
std::string getDefaultDeviceSerialNumber ( )
Returns
Device serial number, or empty if no device exists.

Open device by index with default pipeline.

Parameters
idxIndex number. Index numbers are not determinstic during enumeration.
Returns
New device object, or NULL on failure

Open device by index.
