Is there any posibility of using Kinect as a WebCam? I know that I can do that with KinectCam.ax, but it's only available on OpenNI libraries. I use Microsoft Kinect SDK, because of my project... I tried to find something in Internet... Nothing interesting...

I need a WebCam and it's a stupidity to buy a new one, when I have Kinect o_O

Someone create the drivers to convert your kinect on a webcam. I test it, and works in Skype.

To install the kinect as a webcam download the 3 files (KinectCam.ax,install.bat, unistall.bat) in the Compiled folder here: https://github.com/wildbillcat/KinectCam/

Execute the install.bat as Administrator. And that's all.

The author say that this works even in Windows 8. You can get more info on this thread on msdn.
