    This product contains a code plugin, complete with pre-built binaries and all its source code that integrates with Unreal Engine, which can be installed to an engine version of your choice then enabled on a per-project basis.

This plugin accesses the Azure Kinect Depth Camera and renders the data as a colored live 3D Point Cloud in Real-Time without any prerequisites. The plugin functionality can be accessed via Blueprint nodes.


The rendering is done via a Niagara particle system, thus allowing for further modification such as advanced coloring, distortion, effects, etc. The point count can be set by the user and allows for point clouds with more than a million points, rendering at high framerates.

The plugin will be extended with more functionality in the future.
