Revision history [back]

For the newer Primesense sensors, you must use OpenNI2, OpenNI doesn't recognize them because the USB device ID has changed. The ROS version of OpenNI2 does not support the Kinect, and it probably doesn't support the Xtion Pro (it does support the Xtion Pro Live which has the color camera).

You can install openni/openni2 side by side, and use openni for Kinect and openni2 for newer primesense sensors. Given the question of future availability of either Kinect/Primesense, it is unlikely that anyone is going to put in the effort to integrate Kinect support with openni2.
