I finally managed to figure out a way to use the RealSense Intel camera to serve my purposes after a long struggle of dealing with the addons, Visual Studio and OpenFrameworks. Although relatively basic, I worked off of the code from the sample and created a distance detector(somewhat?)
The way it works is basically by subtracting everything from within an X distance and detecting only what is close enough, then using a counter it counts the amount of pixels being detected and if it’s past a certain amount then it starts producing an output, which for now is a sound.
The input method can be adjusted based on my needs, so I think once I start having all my physical components I would be able to further finetune what I currently have and hopefully make it much accurate.
