Has anyone gotten this to work in the browser?

I am not familiar with electron, but I assume that there is access to the OS that makes the integration between node.js, the Kinect, and a GPU doable. I would be very curious to know if anyone has gotten this to work in a browser? Is it possible to get access to the Kinect and SDK without an application running on the OS?

Browser only: no. The only option to work with kinect data in the browser, is by using a nodejs (socket) server, which would act as a bridge between this library and the browser.

Okay, that makes sense. I assume the nodejs server would need to be running on the local client device? Essentially, some local application must be running to access Kinect and GPU?

Not necessarily, you could have the kinect machine send the data to another machine using websockets. You could take a look at Kinectron an electron application which uses my library to send kinect data over a network.
