DevKit Installation Part 1 (for Mac OS X)
What if I have Windows 7 instead?
System Requirements
- 3Gear Development Kit (including camera stand and PrimeSense short range camera).
- Mac with at least an Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB RAM
- OS X v10.8+
- Java SE 6 64-bit
Installation

Figure 2: Checkerboard mounted on a foam core board with binder clips.
- Assemble the stand as shown in instructions. The base of the camera should fit snugly on the black hex nut. Place the stand behind your monitor or laptop (See Figure 1).
- Download the SDK OS X binaries and double click on the GesturalUserInterface.dmg file. Copy the
NimbleSDKdirectory somewhere (such as into your home directory). It should have the subdirectories:/Users/username/NimbleSDK/
/Users/username/NimbleSDK/lib
etc. - Request a license from 3Gear Systems and place the license.yml file in the NimbleSDK directory.
In the NimbleSDK directory, create a config.yml (see config_example.yml), making sure CameraType is set to OpenNI2 and NumCameras is set to 1:
CameraType: OpenNI2
NumCameras: 1- Print the checkerboard (on letter or A4 paper). See Figure 2, foam board optional.
