Issues:
- If you followed all the steps and read the info for your operating system and the Kinect still doesnt work it might be that the issues can be (on PC) that the plugins are installed in the wrong place.

Go to Isadora > help > open plugin folder > TroikaTronix actor Plugins
you should see the plugins here: OpenNI tracker, Skeleton Decoder, Skeleton Visualiser.
If you dont see them check the folder : Plugins. If the are installed in this folder copy them to the directory above (TroikaTronix actor Plugins)
You might need to restart Isadora.
