Volumetric Capture without hubs?

[zapaishchykova]

Hi! Is it possible to use the volcap.exe without clients (e.g. with direct usb connection to the computer)?

Hi @zapaishchykova,

Actually, with the latest version you should be able to do it (either manually, or via installing the connection windows service on the main PC).

Best,

Hi @ankarako,
So what i did is i captured the device with dev_repo, which created me a .json, now I launch volcap and on the same computer i launch remote_eye. Is that a correct approach or I am missing something?

[ankarako]

Yeah, your approach seems to be correct. You should open the `remote_k4a/rs2.exe' (depending on the device you are using), with the corresponding cli arguments .

Could you please tell me what arguments i should use? (i dont really get what does broker means and what config file should i pass? is it thedevice_repository.json? i have intel rs 435i)

[ankarako]

OK,

So the thing is that volumetric capture only supports Kinect 4 Azure and Intel Realsense D415 devices (see #40 ).
However here is an explanation of the remote_k4a/rs2.exe arguments:

• --address: The IP of the PC on which the RabbitMQ server (broker) runs on. (In your case this should be the local IP of the pc running volcap)
• --port: Is actually not needed (default is 5672), and it's the port for communicating with the RabbitMQ server.
• --user: should be "volumetric" (if you followed the RabbitMQ installation instructions).
• --pass: should be "capture" (again if you followed the RabbitMQ installation instructions).

So you should run: remote_k4a/rs2.exe --address "your.rmq.i.p" --port 5672 --user volumetric --pass capture.

Oh that's unfortunate. Thank you for your help!
