How can you use kinect camera inside google chrome?
EDIT : now supported
I want to use kinect inside chrome using webrtc. Not supported on linux .UYVY
Is it possible to create a new device descriptor (/ dev / video1) that transforms / dev / video 0s UYVY
to YUYV
?

We need to create a virtual device (loopback)
git clone git@github.com:umlaeute/v4l2loopback.git
cd v4l2loopback
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe v4l2loopback // creates /dev/video2 or /dev/videox ...
install gstreamer
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10
convert from sRGB to YUY2 (YUYV)
gst-launch-0.10 -v v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! \
ffmpegcolorspace ! \
video/x-raw-rgb ! \
ffmpegcolorspace ! \
video/x-raw-yuv,format=\(fourcc\)YUY2 ! \
v4l2sink device=/dev/video2
check if everything works
gst-launch v4l2src device=/dev/video2 ! xvimagesink
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video2 --all
Driver Info (not using libv4l2):
Driver name : v4l2 loopback

Streaming Parameters Video Output:
Frames per second: 30.000 (30000/1000)
Write buffers : 8
keep_format (bool) : default=0 value=0
sustain_framerate (bool) : default=0 value=0
timeout (int) : min=0 max=100000000 step=1 default=0 value=0
timeout_image_io (bool) : default=0 value=0
This should now work in chrome via Dummy video device (0x0000)
